I was able to track this problem down to the statements:

	self.buttonOk.setAccel(QString.null)

	self.buttonCancel.setAccel(QString.null)

in the pyuic generated PreferencesForm.languageChange().

Commenting out those lines makes the crash vanish. 

Funny is, I cannot reproduce this effect in a minimal example:

import sys
from qt import *

def done():
   app.exit(0)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
button = QPushButton("&Hello World", None)
# this will disable the above assigned accelerator
button.setAccel(QString.null)
app.setMainWidget(button)
button.show()
# why does this not work?
#app.connect(button, SIGNAL("clicked()"), lambda: app.exit(0))
app.connect(button, SIGNAL("clicked()"), done)
app.exec_loop()
