I got that issue too. Reported it in 'ministry dev'.

Fixed in 1.8 Beta 2.

The problem was a bad call to msnTranslate. We were passing an UNID instead of a mission object. Normally, that would get caught by a try/catch block, but because we're looking at random memory, it's possible that we got past that and crashed in a different place (which wasn't caught).
