As a temporary fix, you can edit the Exec= line in the following files:

/usr/share/applications/org.pantheon.mail.desktop
/usr/share/applications/pantheon-mail-autostart.desktop

The edited line should be as follows:

Exec=env GTK_IM_MODULE="" pantheon-mail %U

By default GTK_IM_MODULE is set to xim. The above command unsets the input method variable.

The main drawback is that while Mail doesn't crash, I can't use fcitx any ore in Mail, so no Chinese text input!

Hopefully there can be a proper fix for this soon.
