Your email was weirdly wrapped (well, not wrapped at all actually).
If it's some setting on your side, could you please try and turn on
wrapping of plaintext email?
Some light will be shed below.

Right. I didn't actually think of that. The fix is quite simple though,
so I'll push it to git once I've tested it (should happen within 10-15
minutes).

Right. I think you haven't configured "monitor" as an authorized contact
for any of your hosts, have you? There's a php-script in the directory
cli-helpers in the ninja tree. It's called htpasswd-import.php. You can
run that to import an existing .htpasswd file into the ninja database.
Just running "php htpasswd-import.php" will give you an overview of the
options it takes. After that you should be able to log in using your
standard usernames that are configured to actually get to see things
in the user interface.
If your users have password hashes created with the apr implementation
of the md5 password hash, you will need to run "make" in the cli-helpers
directory to compile the program apr_md5_validate before you can log in.
No dependencies beyond the default gcc compiler and libc-devel packages
are required, so it should be fairly straightforward. Just type "make"
and it should build nicely.

Right. I *think* the hostgroup_grid (and servicegroup_grid) pages are
somewhat buggy under certain circumstances. We haven't worked a whole
lot on them, but this is something we'll have to look into.

Well, it obviously isn't supposed to crash out like that. It does so
because we're shipping Ninja with developer settings by default, so we
can get reports like this for when it does.
Thanks a lot for pasting the full output here. It really helps when
tracking down issues.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
