Trying to export first to a PDF from Print Composer and there is no coordinate reference system in the output.

Then tried to export to a TIF with World File option and again there's no spatial reference data in the output.

When I load the TIF into qgis, it doesn't line up correctly and then crashes with a core dump.

Might be relevant, but in the print composer, under Export Settings the Reference Map pull down menu is blank with nothing to select there.

https://gis.stackexchange.com/q/246390/1297 also has the same issue reported there.

Output from gdalinfo utility.

The print composer never exported geopdf or geotiff. You can export as tif with world file, so this is not a bug but rather a feature request.

The " Reference Map" pull down is empty if you don't have more than 1 map object in the layout, you probably misunderstand how the "reference map" work in the context of th qgis print composer.
