[Interest] Odd crash with QPainter + QOpenGLWidget

I've cargo-culted some code to render text over a QOpenGLWidget from
another project:

  void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
  {
    QOpenGLWidget::paintEvent(event);

    auto const& text = /* elided */;

    QPainter painter{this};
    painter.setPen(Qt::white);
    painter.setFont(font());
    painter.drawText(rect(), Qt::AlignCenter, text);
    painter.end();
  }

In the "donor" project, this works fine, but the "recipient" project is
crashing on exit:

Any ideas why? Is this a reasonable approach to rendering text in a
QOpenGLWidget, or is there a better way? (I am "fairly confident" that
the problem is the text rendering, above, since the crash goes away if I
comment out said code.)
