I can confirm that the commands below cause a core-dump on both MacOS 10.6.8 
using Fink dependencies, and on MacOS 10.7.1 using MacPorts dependencies.

For 10.7.1 and MacPorts, I see ...

>> graphics_toolkit fltk ;
>> figure (1, 'visible', 'off')

attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete

For 10.6.8 and Fink, I see ...

octave:1> graphics_toolkit fltk ;
octave:2> figure (1, 'visible', 'off')
octave:3> panic: Bus error -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
