Thanks for this analysis.

Based on this, I'm divided on the question of whether we should override the
phasing; which is worse, the memory leak and an eventual OOM crash, or a
crash that happens right away?

But https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/2084777 was
opened for this particular crash and has already been uploaded to plucky,
with intent that this also be SRUed to noble and oracular; so maybe we
should just push ahead with that and side step having to decide between two
bugs.
