Yes it's related to that. I've already fixed it on my end using the
patch posted on the GNOME bugzilla. If you don't want to wait until
tomorrow you can install this:

http://www.jurai.org/~funaho/fc5/gtkhtml3-3.9.90-1.i386.rpm

I didn't bump the revision # since i didn't want to interfere with
tomorrow's official update, so you'll have to install it with "rpm -Uvh
--force".
