Hmm.  I tried to duplicate this (same OSX, same card, but different card reader), but without any luck.  Can you try and get a backtrace?  To do that, run "gdb /the/path/to/gpg" then enter "break malloc_error_break", and finally "run --status-fd 1 --card-status".  When you get a prompt, enter "bt full".  Send the output of the bt full.
