This seems to have never been fixed. The way one may work around this bug (and people in comment 4 and comment 6 might have inadvertently used it) is skipping the cutscene after which the game usually crashes. So, this should be reopened. I'm still not sure whether or not this is related to the TV in the window, because after I skip the cutscene the TV does show some flickering garbage, but doesn't lead to crash, so I can easily complete the mission.
Well, I have ubuntu 12.04 lts 64-bit and in gta iv if I turn on the tv, the game crashes. And in that mission there is exactly one in that guy's room. Even if I miss the cutscene, it crashes very soon. So soon that I can't shoot at the tv with a rifle lol
