Jonah,

Yes, I've seen crashes with L4D and HLstatsX:CE. The cause of this is the 
regular rcon commands that HLstatsX:CE sends to the game servers, particularly 
when levels are being loaded. If you disable rcon commands in your HLstatsX:CE 
install, the crashes will vanish.

As to why these simple rcon commands crash L4D I have no idea.

I also have no idea why people (Valve included) deny there is a problem with 
L4D in this respect.
