I experienced this crash in a local build from m-c/m-b tip, while the urlbar was focused.  I think I had just pressed the backspace key:

ResetInputState resets IME flags by bug 635857, so we should be synchronized function for some methods that uses IME.

Let's see if we can get STR and more people see it. Seems localized to Matt for now

Agreed - I haven't been able to reproduce this, and I only saw it the one time.  My Galaxy Tab was being unusually laggy at the time, so it's probably a bizarre timing issue.
