When WM crashes then applications which are started for example from
xstartup script are not terminated (so your work isn't lost).

The "-fg" switch (and it's current implementation) is absolutely OK.
I would change the "not -fg" branch in vncserver script from
system("($vncUserDir/xstartup; $0 -kill :$displayNumber) >> " .
"edString($desktopLog) . " 2>&1 &");
to
system("$vncUserDir/xstartup >> " . "edString($desktopLog) . " 2>&1 &");
Note I didn't test this change, just copied the line from old
vncserver script.
