Attempts to create chart from incomplete data crashes Excel

Hello, I couldn't find any place to report bugs for Office so I am opening a thread here. The following steps reproducably crash Excel 2013 for me:

1. Create new spreadsheet
2. Write a two ("2") into cell A1
3. Select cells A1-B1
4. On the ribbon, click Insert -> XY scatter plot -> 2nd plot type (points with interpolated lines)

As soon as I hover over the 2nd XY scatter plot type, Excel crashes. Event log shows a little bit more info: Error code 0xc0000374 (STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION) in ntdll.dll. Top of call stack:

ntdll.dll!RtlReportCriticalFailure() 
ntdll.dll!RtlpHeapHandleError() 
ntdll.dll!RtlpLogHeapFailure() 
ntdll.dll!RtlFreeHeap() 
oleaut32.dll!MemFree() 
oleaut32.dll!VariantClear() 
MSO.DLL!00007ffbae8f87b4() 
OART.DLL!00007ffbb19b8293() 
OART.DLL!00007ffbb19b7fab() 
...

Using Excel 2013 on Windows 8.1 x64 with all latest Windows and Excel updates installed, also happens in safe mode of Excel.

Hope this helps. If you need any more information, let me know.
