Yeah, uh, this is definitely the cause. Under OS X's drivers, it doesn't properly support more than a few things Dolphin uses – OS X tries to help by using its software renderer whenever necessary, but this doesn't play nicely with games in dual-core mode because it's so slow. Taking too long to render a frame usually causes the game to crash or freeze like this. (Single-core mode makes the game wait for graphical rendering to finish before doing anything else, so it doesn't have this issue.)
You can fix this by unchecking "Enable Dual-Core" in the main config, but you can fix it better by throwing your current Mac out a window and replacing it with literally any recent Mac with a proper dedicated GPU that'll have some semblance of reasonable and functional OpenGL support.
