Does the Flash piece require some JavaScript to load? This is most 
likely the case, and it would explain why it doesn't crash when LibreJS 
is on: Simply put, the JavaScript code isn't free (or detected as free) 
and the flash piece never loads (and the Flash piece and its plugin are 
not free either...)

It looks like there are similar bug reports on Bugzilla (for Firefox.)

In any case, one of the main goals of IceCat is to be a fully free 
browser, so running it with the nonfree Flash plugin isn't something we 
support.
