Gmail App gone bezerk

Same issue here, just started after I updated Google Voice (coinkydink I am sure). My phone did shut itself off earlier today too.
My primary Gmail is fine, my other account doesn't show at all but when I open it through 'accounts' in settings it does the scrolly thing. It did notify me that I had email through it all though.

My phone is doing the same thing and this post caught my eye as I also had just updated and subsequently deleted Google Voice. I redownloaded Voice but my phone is doing the same thing.
I don't know if this will help or not but I went into settings, Accounts & sync and there is a sync error message for Gmail. I don't know if this is causing it or just a byproduct of the core issue?
EDIT: I clicked on the Gmail sync portion and it said there was an issue syncing contacts. This rings a bell for me because I just upgraded the OS on my Mac and started using iCloud. I received some sort of error message about syncing gmail contacts but can't remember what exactly it was. I'm at work now and don't have access to my laptop to verify. Anyway, I unclicked 'sync contacts' and it's still doing it sooooo yeah, I still don't know what it is.

Just looked at my apps in Play, and the update for Gmail is gone. I don't allow apps to update automatically, and Gmail has been in the update list for 2 months. I read the improvements and wasn't interested. I don't sync Gmail. With 2 computers, a tablet and a phone, plus 3 OS, it turns into more hassle than it's worth. I get mail through Tbird anyway and control contacts, and deletions there.

I'm still experiencing it as well, on my Droid Bionic. I REALLY don't want to do a factory reset. I'm unrooted. Using K-9 app for now, but it doesn't group the conversations together like gmail/gmail app, and that's kinda lame. :(

I cleared the cache, removed data, and uninstalled the updates as well. Now I don't see it in the market to update, either. Weaksauce.
