Same issues, I hope it gets fixed soon. It's totally predictable and repeatable here. Just open and close Logic a few times with it on, or load a number of other apps (quicktime, itunes, safari, colloquey, ichat, a few others), then after a while of messing around switch on the Ensemble, this leads to grey screen 99% of the time. Or alternatively if it does work, run a session in logic, quit logic, then relaunch logic will usually do it too.

Given this, to avoid the issue I start the ensemble before launching any programs, launch logic and whatever other music software I need first, and don't shut them down till I'm sure I've finished. Doing that means I get no grey screens of death, but it is a pain, and takes the spontaneity out of things a lot.

I'm assuming that what happens is as soon as the Ensemble's drivers kick in and try to address memory outside of the base 2gb it's causing the crash (maybe a certain piece of code is incorrectly setting data in the lower address range, it may be that their driver isn't using at least a full 32bit address pointer, though it should really be using 64bit pointers now).
