It seems like that to me, any Qt application (excluding KDE ones, since
they use a different file dialog) that uses the Qt's built-in file
dialog will always crash when a file is selected, and if one is run from
a terminal, they will always finish with:

Interface is not valid 
ASSERT failure in : "Got an update for an invalid inteface. Investigate this.", 
file atspiadaptor.cpp, line 899
Aborted (core dumped)

Besides removing the package 'at-at-spi', setting the Qt theme to GTK+
(using qtconfig) will allow the user to workaround this problem in most
situations by having a Qt-only program use GTK+ 2's file dialog, which
should work fine with at-spi2. However, if anytime Qt's built-in file
dialog is shown, and that a file has been selected, that program will
still crash.


** Attachment added: "One situation in which there is a potential for a program 
to crash on file select if qt-at-spi is installed (VLC's open file dialog, with 
the 'Embed the file browser in open dialog' setting turned on)"
