I think you are missing the point of the "backlash" (my word). Nobody is arguing that the functionality (e.g. crash) you are seeing isn't troublesome. A few people tried to mitigate that by suggesting workarounds *whilst still accepting the functionality isn't sufficient*. I haven't read a single reply that said "No, that functionality is correct" or "no, this isn't particularly catastrophic".
The backlash is against your attitude - it was all "how dare the universe fail and disrupt my glorious plans. I demand you all stop immediately and fix this and be thankful I might consider using it again!". You could have approached this in so many ways, throwing your toys out of the pram isn't going to get you anywhere. I am not even talking about Open Source and how you are on the cutting edge so these things happen etc., for me it is simply the "I demand" and "absolutes" and "I say jump, now do it" attitude - it is all so wrong.
