Alas, no. I went back from the version in MELPA to swiper 0.7.0 (it 
includes ivy-mode) which was published to GNU ELPA a month ago.

Still getting the problem. It seemed gone for the first few minutes, but 
after I restarted Emacs, and repeated the familiar steps (navigate to 
~/vc/emacs, invoke projectile-find-file with ivy used as the 
completing-read function, then type vc-hg, and maybe backspace over that 
g and type it again a few times), the problem is here again.

(Other people should be able to reproduce this by installing swiper, 
enabling ivy-mode, and calling M-x project-find-file).

The error also still happens in different places. Here's the latest one:

Sometimes, I'm also getting a graphical glitch in the minibuffer: one or 
few "character not found" glyphs flickering against the right window 
border right before the crash.

Screenshot attached.
