I haven't looked closely to see what goes wrong, but the problems you 
list should lead to an error message, not a crash.  So yes, Anthony 
should report this as a bug.  Anthony, if you don't have a bug reporting 
account you won't be able to do so; write to me privately and I'll 
create one for you (with your choice of associated email address).
