OK, we have an Insight bug.

The next step is to set the environment variable GDBTK_DEBUG to 1.  From bash, 
that would be
"export GDBTK_DEBUG=1"
Then run Insight.  Under the View pulldown menu, you should see "Debug 
Window". Select this.  Next open your register window and step a few times.  
Look for error messages in the Debug Window as you do this.  When you exit 
Insight, you will find a file "insight.log" that is the saved contents of the 
debug window. 

Another thing you could try is download the latest sources for Insight and try 
those.  I rewrote much of the register window a couple of weeks ago. Or you 
should just be able to copy the new register window source files into your 
5.2 source tree.  The files you need are gdbtk/generic/gdbtk-register.c,
gdbtk/library/regwin.it* and gdbtk/library/help/register.html
