Backpeddle - new projects in X3D don't even have any V-Vocal option which suggests it is not installed, old projects give me the option and the crash. Above I wrote wrong so crossed it out...
@Clint please create a new project, can you confirm that a crash doesn't happen, it's only old projects?
UPDATE - Seems I can no longer reproduce, it must happen under specific conditions, but as you can see on my previous post it does happen. Use Melodyne ! :)
