Please send the information from `reportbug --template gnome-shell` so
that we know which dependencies are up to date with unstable and which
are not.

Source code of line 331: ctext = CLUTTER_TEXT (priv->label);

Something in JavaScript code (we can't tell what) is calling set_text() on
a StLabel at a time when its associated ClutterText is a dangling pointer
or has already been freed; and it is setting the label to "44°C". If
this happens when the screen locks, then I suspect an extension might
not be getting unloaded correctly. The mention of a temperature makes
me wonder about gnome-system-monitor.

Which GNOME Shell extensions, if any, do you have enabled and
installed? Please run:

    dconf read /org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions
    ls ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
    ls /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions

Jakobus: please do the same?

Thanks,
