Turns out the problem seems to be caused by gstreamer-vaapi: Uninstalling that package makes the crashes stop. Installing gstreamer-vaapi is useful for people on Intel based portables since it allows offloading video decoding to the integrated GPU, reducing fan noise and power use. To repro with WebKitGTK 3.28.x on a machine that uses an Intel integrated GPU: Install gstreamer-vaapi (gstreamer1.0-vaapi on Deb/Ubuntu), open a Twitter feed, and just keep tapping the spacebar repeatedly. As you scroll down the page past a number of video elements, the web process will eventually crash. 1424032 1 mcatanzaro 2018-05-15 09:19:14 -0700 Guessing bug #184574.
