Gem Bag/Potion Case crashes game (and causing an npc to be cloned repeatedly?)

I've had considerable problems with the Gem Bag and Potion Case causing the game to crash (lock-up). I basically have to open it, click on one item, and then quickly exit and hope. Save, rinse and repeat until everything has been removed that I want. Very annoying.
As an added bonus, it appears to also be making the Bartender from the Nashkel Inn to be cloned in the northwest section of the Nashkel map, just beyond the bridge. While I can't prove it's related to the containers causing the game to crash, I did note that after suffering two more container-related crashes this session, two more clones of the Bartender appeared. I'm currently up to 20 clones of the Bartender, not counting the original in the Inn.

This happens in multiplayer game?
NPC cloning was a terrible and annoying bug in original BG2 multiplayer.
I'll send my crash dumps as requested.
I am curious why it's always the Bartender (at least in my case). Is his code and the container code somehow connected in some unfortunate manner? Do other people experiencing this problem also getting cloned Bartenders, or a different npc?
I'm also starting to wonder if the problem isn't inventory-related, rather than just container-related. The crash I had southwest of Nashkel happened when I was looting a corpse. All my inventory slots were full so I had opened my inventory to pass stuff to a follower and the game crashed. I've had one or two crashes when buying stuff from Thalyntyr, and at least one crash when pulling stuff out of a barrel I had extra stuff stashed in. Quite a few gem/potion container-related crashes, too, of course.
Anyway, hopefully the crash dumps I sent will help. I only sent the most recent three. I'll be happy to send others if they want to see them.
Now, if you just show me a way to reliably clone bartenders, we could fix this problem.

i lived the same.
i play multiplayer and everyone is crashing if somebody "playing" within the scroll case. so i pulled out every scroll one by one from the scroll container, (quicksave after every takeout), after 30 min crashing, i succeed and dropped away the scroll case. i never dare to use the gem bag though. it was scary.
