Yeah, I'm using a different commit, sorry.

The return value appears to be true. The breakpoint does trigger right
after, and enabled_p is also true:

I tried it with a different font(size), without byte-compilation, and
with a magit git snapshot -- all still crashed for me. Have you tried
using MELPA[1] to install magit? Maybe that would work.
