That is currently intentional (at least as long as using bdb).
Once reprepro crashes it is likely that bdb just corruptet itself, so
one needs a check of the database, anyway. So it is nothing I want to
just step over. (Perhaps the error message if there is already a lock
file should be made a bit scarier).
