Gnome 3 + Places Status indicator extension freezes shell

I haven't been able to find anything else on the web relating to this so I came here.

After a full system update tuesday of this week, starting gnome and other actions would stall/freeze gnome such that I couldn't click on anything. Ctrl+Alt+F keys would get me to a login that I could use to check logs or restart gdm.

Nothing in the logs seemed related, especially after comparing with another machine with identical Arch setup.

After playing around a bit, I discovered the "Places Status Indicator" extension seemed to be the culprit, or at least was stimulating this freeze. Doesn't happen on any of my ubuntu or debian systems, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else had seen it here before taking it to gnome bugs.

Is there a good way to get debug output from gnome extensions, or an overall better way to get feedback from them for troubleshooting?
