Some of them may be minor, but ones in librplay may be a major
issue. For instance, in Debian, /usr/libexec/fvwm2/2.7.0/FvwmEvent
is linked against this library:

qaa:~> ldd /usr/libexec/fvwm2/2.7.0/FvwmEvent
[...]
         librplay.so.3 => /lib/librplay.so.3 (0x00007f25461f4000)
[...]

meaning that this could make the window manager crash (unless it
has some protection for modules).

When I last checked, FVWM "modules" actually run in separate processes, connected by pairs of pipes to the main FVWM process. A crashing module simply goes "poof" and can be restarted at the user's discretion, if the configuration provides a means to do so.
