No crash for me with a nightly build.
And I also don't get a crash with 1.9.3 x64.
Testing against a VisualSVN server 3.5, both with an existing repo and a
completely new one with only revision 1 where trunk/branches/tags was
created.

I denied access to root (verified using the repo browser) but allowed rw
access to trunk/branches/tags. Showed the log for trunk, clicked
"include merged revisions", and I also tried with the command line.

no crash in all tests.

disabled log cache in the settings, retried all the tests. Again: no crash.

Well, that's not really an issue with TSVN but with the svn library.
You would get the same if you run
svn log https://server/svn/trunk -v -g
