Right, on a hunch that it's something to do with Emacs receiving and
processing signals or input of some sort during or immediately after
minimization, I tried wrapping

    [[view window] miniaturize: NSApp];

in x_iconify_frame with block_input and unblock_input:

    block_input();
    [[view window] miniaturize: NSApp];
    unblock_input();

which seems to have solved the crash.

I'm not super-happy with this as the error message implies that
something is being created in Objective C, then either clobbered or
released elsewhere, *then* Objective C tries to release it
automatically and it's already clobbered/gone. But I can't trace it
back to find out what's actually going on. It appears to be related to
unblock_input forcing the processing of "pending" signals or input
when drawRect runs, but why is that breaking Objective C's garbage
collection routines?

I guess it probably doesn't matter, as long as it works.
