KStars (3.3.8) crash on startup was created by Peter Sütterlin

Three days ago I did an update to the then-latest KStars (3.3.8_899_gd6a60f19d, self compiled from git) and did a successful observing night with it.
Today, without further changes, it crashed dead just by starting it. Running in gdb reveals
Thread 1 "kstars" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000555555bb01cd in SkyObject::translatedLongName (this=0x555558e874c0)
    at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kstars/kstars/skyobjects/skyobject.h:171
171         QString translatedLongName() const { return i18n(longname().toUtf8()); }

BT suggested something during drawing of the sky view, but it was delayed a bit. So I tried changing the pointing before it crashed (click in map and move the mouse), and that prevented it from crashing. :huh:
Since then it's running fine. But maybe some Dev has an idea what might have gone wrong there? Attaching the logs, just in case...
