Question on incorrect checksum for freed object

Hi there, I've been experiencing weird crash issues that I am still investigating. I am hoping that any of you would have any ideas regarding the cause of this crash. Or where I should be looking into first.

Basically, I have a prefab that controls loading between the unity scenes (regardless of the scene type, whether it be cinematics, or actual levels). This loading prefab is set to not get destroyed upon load, as we load several scenes (sometimes additively, or even via additive async) before getting to the 'target' scene. The flow in my case is:

1. Main Menu [scene]

2. Press on Stage 1 level 1 [user action]

3. Instantiate Loader Prefab [code]

4. Loader sets DontDestroyOnLoad() on self.

5. Loader initiates loading animation (animation done by code, so no animation component actually used) [code]

6. Loader loads an empty level for flushing [code]

7. Loader loads a cinematic scene if applicable [code]

8. Upon loading of cinematic scene, loader prefab invokes Reset() and SetActiveRecursively(false) on self

9. Upon finish of cinematic scene, cinematic controller invokes SetActiveRecursively(true) on Loader

10. Loader reinitiates loading animation (obviously the animation was reset, so our GUITextures' positions are reset to default at this point)

11. CRASH right before invoking Application.LoadLevel(level)

I've attached a screenie of what I see in Xcode (I've tried to understand, but having had no experience on this crash before, I fail miserably).

Additionally, this is the error I see on the console:

 malloc: *** error for object 0x2229a04: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.

I have a hunch that it could be when the GUITexture objects are animated right during the second loading sequence (right after the cinematic). If any of you could confirm this or wouild have any other leads, I would most greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Added a device crash log:

I really hope someone can at least point me to what could be causing this random crash :/
