No.
Early builds of the Mesh Project Viewer experienced crash on exit (CTS-399) but that's long since been resolved and never caused a system crash/loss of data. The Viewer is known to crash spectacularly (causing entire system crash with loss of data in other applications) mid-session on Macs with ATI graphics if you try to enable shadows/deferred rendering, but the system I'm using doesn't have an ATI graphics card in it, and I made no graphics settings changes during the session.
