are you using nvidia's binary drivers? there is a long outstanding bug somewhere upstream (nvidia-glx, libstdc++6, who knows) that crashes openGL-applications whenever they try to throw (and catch!) an exception.
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364907 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365245
since you are on ubuntu, you could try bothering the u'support; since they get paid, it will probably get fixed sooner :-)
apart from that: have you tried compiling Gem with/without imagemagick++ support? (imagemagick can open loads of formats; however it will still crash if it cannot find the image because of the described exception problem)
