Thanks to all the people who tested this and help me fix the issues (I hope!).
I uploaded a new beta with the result of the fixes as well as a couple of other small enhancements. Here is the story so far. PowerPro active buttons ask other programs for the icons and text they display. This leads to problems if the other program does not respond to the request. In trying to fix this problem, I went down a wrong path of building a mechanism to put timeouts on all text and icon requests to windows and to try to re-activate unresponsive windows by later queries. However, it seems this is not needed. Text appears not to cause issues if the right system call is used. Further, I have found that in every program I have, it is enough to use the class icon assigned to the window (which is kept by the system) and not bother with querying the window itself. This even works for the small number of program I have that update active button icons (ie taskbar, _not_ tray icons), as long as "dynamically update..." on command list|setup|all bars is checked. So there is now an option on that same dialog to have PowerPro use class icons only for active buttons. This should make active buttons even more stable. I'd be interested in the results of any testing people do. Does it work for any programs you have which change task bar button icons? If the class icon setting does not work for you, I have also left the option of changing the timeout for the request to a window for its icon: this is still on setup|advanced|limits.
