I added my findings to the Android Forums thread mentioned above, but I figure I'll say it here too.
All the proposed fixes people mentioned do not work. I tried formatting the sd card, doing a hard reset and ONLY running stock Android home, avoiding updating any apps, installing one app at a time and doing a soft reset between installations, etc. And...it still crapped out on me. What's odd is that each time a different app throws a "force close" error and different shortcuts are affected. This time it was Google Listen that threw the error and Dolphin Browser wasn't affected (though it had been the other two or three times). WTF!! So very annoying. Thankfully, the official Android Developers Google group is aware of the issue. Here's to hoping they figure out a fix since HTC appears to be dropping the ball.
