That's true that trying to guarantee that no possible combination of modules
would fail is impossible.  

IMO the quick and dirty fix would be to add an autosave on run option.  If a
workflow will crash, at least it won't take all your work down with it.  

The better fix I suspect is to move the actual running of the workflow into a
separate thread so that regardless of which modules decide to go haywire, the
workflow is unable of capturing the UI and causing a problem.  I've only just
started looking at the code so I don't know how difficult/feasible this would
be.
