Base has forever suffered from unsynchronised data recovery on crashing. From what I know of the process, only some of the table data is loaded into RAM, the rest is only pulled in, as and when needed. The recovery mechanism, however, which defaults to every 15 minutes, will only pull in the latest state of what is in /tmp. If that doesn't happen to include your changes made to other parts of the table or the ODB file, which may be floating around in memory waiting to be written to the underlying db (shutdown compact), you are out of luck. Of course, I may have misunderstood the whole "streaming a db in memory is a good idea" sort of thing. Embedded HSQLDB in a ODB file is an accident waiting to happen. There are ways to make your data safer, even with HSQLDB.
