I prefer to avoid AppImages if I can but I gave it a try anyway and it still fails with exactly the same error. What made you think it's just a packaging issue?
Thought I'd give it a try and installed the latest version. Application crashes at startup on Linux (Wayland) with: "The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: 'crashed', code: '139')".
Probably yet another instance of developers mostly testing and doing quality assurance on macOS/Windows.
