Using the publicly available dataset "sysdsn1" I was able to reproduce the crash Ulrich described using Stata/MP 11.1 for Mac OSX 10.6.5 (64-bit Intel) (Born 10 Nov 2010).


*******!
webuse sysdsn1
mlogit insure c.age i.male i.nonwhite i.site


**THESE WORK:
margins (i.site#i.male#i.nonwhite)#i.site#i.nonwhite, at(age=50)

margins (i.site#i.nonwhite)#i.site#i.male#i.nonwhite, at(age=50)



**THIS CRASHES STATA:
margins i.site#i.male#i.nonwhite#(i.site#i.nonwhite), at(age=50)
*******!
