I have only those packages installed, too. I do not have freetype,
ImageMagick, or libwmf installed.

This sounds like a problem with either (1) wv and your compiler
or (2) AbiWord and your compiler or (3) AbiWord and WV with your
compiler. :) Is there any interesting output on stdout/stderr
before the crash? As far as I know, we (AbiWord with wv)
should be able to handle imports of files without a crash
with the current source code.
