It would appear that ICU 51.2 causes segfaults in at least LibreOffice:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35466
http://upstream-tracker.org/compat_reports/icu4c/51.1_to_51.2/abi_compat_report.html#High_Risk_Problems
I moved the poppler rebuilds out of testing so that libreoffice
doesn't have to be rebuilt twice. I will proceed to rebuild
libreoffice, verify that the segfaults are gone and push it to extra.
I assume that only packages linking to the layout engine
(libicule.so.51) need to be rebuilt, so I will only do libreoffice and
harfbuzz. (I'm basing this on the upstream-tracker.org report which
shows just a few symbols in the LayoutEngine class as affected.)
Andy, please check to see if anything else needs to be done to address
this problem. :)
