This issue has changed behaviour, although it still does not work as intended.
Now instead of crashing the whole friends panel/window, the on-hover popups are not displayed whatsoever.
The only error that I get that seems to be related is this:

Interesting, Steam Chat just crashed when I opened a game. More information:

Not really sure which of those errors might be causing the problem...
Another note: when the new UI does crash, steam pins the CPU at max until quitting steam, which then exits with a SIGSEGV.

Seems to be resolved on latest Steam Beta, still getting a bunch of similar errors though:
