Physical menu button causes VLC to crash on Android

Greetings!

I've been following the VLC Nightly builds on my Android phone for a good few months now, but I've only tonight updated to the latest build where the new Material Design layout is used.

My phone has a physical menu button, and prior to the UI change, pressing the menu button would show a menu with options like "Refresh", "Equalizer", "Preferences", and "About". Since the UI change, pressing this simply causes VLC to crash.

More details:

Android 4.1.2 LG AS870 (LG Optimus F5, basically the same as the LG VS870)

I'd attach a crash log but I can't seem to find one... or there's been a change as to where they're written.
