Looks like you're at least missing debug symbols for certain packages, plus at least 1 plugin.

Tumbleweed is a rolling distribution, right? I'd say give it a couple of days to see if the maintainers realise and fix their error (or for updates to percolate throughout the update server mirrors). If not, you should probably file a ticket with them.

That said, it looks like something in the code proceeds despite the fact that a required plugin hasn't been loaded, and thus jumps to a random location (or NULL). That shouldn't happen, and you don't need to wait for others to confirm your issue: if you can get more information about the flow after ConfigModuleWithTabs::load() you should report this situation.
