graph tool edge text not working

I am trying to create an interactive finite state automata in python using graph-tool, but I can't get edge labels to work.

Here is the python file:

from graph_tool.all import *

g = Graph()
edge_labels = g.new_edge_property("string")
a = g.add_vertex()
b = g.add_vertex()
e = g.add_edge(a, b)
edge_labels[e] = 'a'
props = {'text': edge_labels}
graph_draw(
    g,
    eprops=props,
    output_size=(200, 200),
)

This the crash:

*** Error in `/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/python2': free(): invalid size: 0x00000000023d0840 ***

I have no idea where to start looking for the issue. Running with python 3 gives a similar error. If I remove the edge labels, it works.

If not a solution to this problem, are there any libraries that can be suggested as alternatives to graph-tool? I want the the visualisation to be interactive, since I eventually want the FSA to be modifiable in the GUI.

This is a cairo/pango bug.

You can get around it by specifying the font family explicitly:

graph_draw(g, eprops=props, edge_font_family="Times")

EDIT: In fact, this turned out to be subtle bug when using cairo together with boost::coroutines. This has been fixed now in version 2.25, and the original example should work without modification.
