Research direction
Start by reading electrum/gui/qt/installwizard.py around lines 258-263 and electrum/storage.py around line 72, then examine the supplied traceback and crash reports. Determine how the wallet file is decoded when invalid UTF-8 triggers the MemoryError, and verify the application handles this failure without crashing.
