It may take more effort to reproduce the problem then just building a minimal app with a NSSavePanel. I have little doubt that works as, if it did not, nearly every application out there would be crashing and they aren't. It will take effort, but you will likely need to replicate the conditions of the crash quite closely to see the same behavior.
Of course, since I would assume that you cannot make your real application publicly available, perhaps you could make it available to Apple via a DTS incident. Depending on your specific circumstances, having someone at Apple sign a NDA is not unheard of. There is little doubt in my mind that your problem could be resolved quite quickly. I would recommend against degrading your user experience by auto-creating a directory on the desktop.
