I experienced this bug (with almost identical terminal output when I try
to run "unity" in terminal) recently, though I don't know if under the
same circumstances. I can trigger it 100% of the time in both my Asus
G53SW notebook and Acer AspireOne netbook by opening CompizConfig
Setting Settings Manager -> "Grid" plugin -> "Edges" tab and unchecking
the "Snap windows back to original size" option.  At that point, Unity,
the launcher, panel, and window decorations will disappear as described.
The problem will persist until the "Snap windows back to original size"
option is rechecked and Unity is restarted either through the "unity"
terminal command or by rebooting the computer. "unity --reset" will also
fix the problem, although the user will lose any changes he's made to
Compiz. The bug only affects the account on which it was triggered, and
Unity2D will still work. If unity is restarted through the terminal and
the bug is triggered again, the terminal will output "Segmentation
fault."

Here's the terminal output when I try to run Unity in a terminal while the 
"Snap windows back to original size" option is still unchecked:

Here's the AskUbuntu.com question I started when I initially ran into this bug:

 Note that the user "RiMMER" also experienced it.
