When you are using the 'unity' profile & open preferences in ccsm it's not 'crashing'
What's happening is the profile is being switched to the 'Default' profile & then being loaded. This can take quite some time.
By default the 'Default' profile does not have the unity plugin enabled, That;s why the 1st. login after he switch doesn't have the plugin enabled, if you had waited for the Default profile to finish loading you would have seen this.

The unity plugin can be enabled in the Default profile & you can
continue on as before, except you'll be using the Default profile
instead of the unity profile

If this has occurred & you didn't rm  ect. you can see 2 ways -

Start ccsm in a terminal - the  5th line down will be  Profile     : Default
Or go to ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/ config . That file will have this  in it which translates to Default profile
[general_ubuntu]
profile = 
In a new install that file is empty, delete that section & log out/in & you'll go back to the unity profile

So I don't quite see a compiz bug here - you opened the preferences
which is set to "Default' profile & it loads - whether ccsm should do
this may be a bug, may not
