Crash deleting instrument (0.9.6.1)

I've just upgraded to 0.9.6.1. It has fixed one crash I was getting opening a particular XML created by Dolet from Sibelius, thank you, but I have another file created the same way.
This file appears with two identical guitar staves because there was a tab stave in Sibelius. On trying to delete the second stave MuseScore crashes. This happened in 0.9.6 and also in 0.9.6.1.
I've attached the troublesome file. Note that I deleted everything on the second stave but still cannot delete it. I am using I > Remove to try to delete it. The crash happens on clicking OK.
Running OS X 10.6.4, Intel Core 2 Duo.

Reproduced with 0.9.6.1 with Win Vista.
Open score
Go to Create > Instruments
Remove second part
Crash
Strangely I've just tried the same with another score that was similar and it works ok. The only difference in structure than I can see is that this one had the two staves bracketed together as they would have been for a piano.
Hope this helps.

I have now edited some others successfully, so there must be something odd in the XML of that file. I did zap gremlins in Bbedit, so it shouldn't be that.

I filed a bug report:
#6508: Crash removing instrument with volta (0.9.6 regression)
As a workaround, just remove the volta bracket before you delete the instrument.
That certainly works. Thank you.
