It doesn't look like a foreign-related issue.  I tried this:

  (require (lib "foreign.ss"))
  (unsafe!)
  (define gobject-lib (ffi-lib "libgobject-2.0"))
  (define gtk-lib (ffi-lib "libgtk"))
  (define gtk_init
    (get-ffi-obj "gtk_init" gtk-lib (_fun _pointer _pointer -> _void)))
  (gtk_init #f #f)

on two systems and it crashes, but it does not happen if I comment out
the gobject-lib line.

See the examples in the `ffi' collection.
