Thanks for everyone's help on this.  To summarize, opening IDLE's Preferences 
menu when Python is dynamically linking to ActiveTcl 8.5.12.1 (at this writing, 
the most recent version) causes Tk to crash.  The committed patches here avoid 
the crash by changing Tk calls from IDLE.  These fixes will be released in the 
next set of maintenance releases: 2.7.4, 3.2.4, 3.3.1, and in 3.4.0.  Until 
they are installed, another workaround is to revert to an earlier version of 
ActiveTcl; 8.5.11.1 is recommended:

    http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/releases/8.5.11.1/

As always, http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ will be updated with 
current recommendations.
