I've been testing Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 and 17.04 and the same issue happens on 
them.
When running "gnome-shell --replace" in a Terminal before preforming the 
software updates, I see a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error in the 
Terminal when the crash happens.

However, the issue never appears when using the current builds of Ubuntu
17.10, both in Wayland and Xorg. Perhaps the updated GJS interpreter
fixed the issue.

I still wonder if it's possible to patch the Gnome Shell package in
Ubuntu 16.04 to fix this bug for the LTS users (who expect stability in
their system until 2021).
