Comment(by SimonKing):

 The segfault does not occur while computing a hash. It occurs in line 468
 of sage/matrix/matrix_rational_dense.pyx, namely
 {{{
                 mpq_mul(y, w._entries[j], self._matrix[j][i])
 }}}
 I also tested, just before that line, that `w[j]` and
 `self.get_unsafe(j,i)` (which accesses `w._entries[j]` and
 `self._matrix[j],[i]`) works.

 At this point, I am at my wits' end. To me, it looks like a change in the
 way of comparing dictionary keys modifies internals of mpir (IIRC, this is
 where mpq_mul is defined). gdb can not decipher the core file, and I don't
 know how valgrind can be used.

 What else?
