Ok I see clearly what's happening. ~KSelectAction deletes QAction::menu() (the child menu), then (in ~QAction) the action is removed from its own (parent) menu, and the implementation of that on OSX is to delete a "platform menuitem", which has this code
    if (m_menu && COCOA_MENU_ANCESTOR(m_menu) == this)
        SET_COCOA_MENU_ANCESTOR(m_menu, 0);
i.e. reparent any child menu. At this point m_menu is dangling, hence the crash. (technically m_menu is a "platform menu" but 

So 1) moving the "delete d_ptr" of KSelectAction is completely useless and unrelated. The crash happens *after* ~KSelectAction itself is done.
2) setMenu(0), and just that, is a possible fix
3) menu()->deleteLater, and just that, is a possible fix

(oh crap I forgot to submit this yesterday morning).

Let's see how this matches your new comment. Yep, it does.
I vote for 3), to avoid the overhead of 2).

The backtrace suggested this might be due to a pending event (or an event due to the menu deletion) being delivered post-mortem to an instance of a QMenu related class.
