Does this mean that in case of a crash or hang, SM fails to export the DB and ... what? The info is lost, or just not backed up?
The HTML file is not the backup, it's just for those users who somehow need or want to have it. HTML files are only for export and import, i.e. the user, not the system itself. The new bookmarks back-end, Places, uses a (transactional) database for storage, and the JSON format (JavaScript) for backups, which are created automatically and can easily be restored using the new Bookmarks Manager.
So provided you don't suffer from a hard disk breakage (SM's internal backup of course doesn't free you from creating system backups!), you should never permanently lose any of your bookmarks without your explicit consent. You could get temporary inconsistencies between the internal bookmarks storage and bookmarks.html, though (e.g. if the latter could not be written due to a crash). In that case, just restart SM and exit cleanly or export manually.
