I attach the gdb output for this operation, but I noticed that I can't
save a newly created worksheet even after modifications.

I can load an existing document, make some changes then save it. If I
load an existing document and try to save it without first making
changes, gnumeric segfaults also with this output on the terminal:

    process 15264: type array 97 not a basic type
    process 15264: type array 97 not a basic type
    process 15264: type invalid 0 not a basic type
    process 15264: type invalid 0 not a basic type
    process 15264: type struct 114 not a basic type
    zsh: segmentation fault  gnumeric tests.gnumeric

This issue is not reproducible for me.

These messages point towards
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=548343 ("applications
utilizing gvfs crashing on 'save' attempts"). Can you reproduce the
segfaults after logging out of your X session and logging back in again?

HTH,
