Interesting.  It is probably the mac roman font that somehow makes it crash, the soft return in not present in mac roman.
I can't reproduce it, I don't have any mac roman font on my system.

In any case it should not crash.
Can you try

(set-default-font "-*-Monaco-normal-normal-normal-*-10-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")

and see if that still crashes?
