Mysterious crash on iOS 8

Question

I\'m getting a lot of crash reports on iOS 8 with this stack trace:

Date/Time:       2014-09-17T20:26:15Z
OS Version:      iPhone OS 8.0 (12A365)
Report Vers

There is a discussion on the Apple developer forums about this very behavior, where an Apple employee acknowledges this to be a bug:

iOS 8.3 was released just a few days ago, and if our crash monitoring is accurate, there's a very good chance that 8.3 has fixed this issue. I will update this answer once we have more than a few days' worth of data under our belts.

Edit: after a week's worth of crash reports from Fabric/Crashlytics, it looks like 8.3 has resolved two sources of this crash: one from MapKit where it tries to render vector map tiles and/or map overlay raster tiles with OpenGL ES in the background, and another one from UIKit where it tries to render a UITabBar's tab images in the background (again, using OpenGL ES in the background). Would love to hear from others what you're seeing in production.
