Stuart, Update and status report - good news! -
1. I've installed Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1 Build ID: 46cfcd5a05aa1d13fecd73f5a25b64b8d8dd6781.
It's at least as solid as ver. 4.1.6.2 was for me. I'm still having "vector::_M_range_check" crashes - but only in one particular situation. As long as all my work is in one sheet - no errors at all. What a relief! But moving data to another sheet crashes it under a very specific situation.
I'm working on a replication dataset so I can file a bug and maybe see this problem removed completely while it's still an alpha. That would be fantastic. I'd also be actually contributing a little to development, and I'd love to do that.
So, all the work that's gone into this new version has sure paid off for ME, and I'm very grateful.
2. I installed 4.3.0.0 in parallel with 4.1.6.2, in case I had to revert to that, but right now - about 25 minutes into it I don't see that happening. Better to go forward, I think. My experiences can then help to improve the code, maybe.
3. I installed GNUmeric. Gaaaack! Not good. It was incredibly slow. To insert a single new row in one sheet took about 50 seconds. More complicated things took even longer. It wouldn't copy formatting, and I could NOT find a format painter, which I simply must have. A total no-go for me. But, worth a look.
So, as of now, I'm back in business and moving forward, and that's a much better place than I was yesterday - all of which was devoted to trying to resolve this problem.
Thanks for your help for pushing me into 4.3. I had to study up on a few things, but the LO wiki material was extremely helpful and clear, and it solved all problems that came up.

Tom, Believe you REALLY should get off of the 4.2.x branch and move onto the 4.3 now in alpha. Devs have really put a lot of effort into exactly these issues for the 4.3 release. First 4.3 alpha pre-release is here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/ or perhaps work with the nightly builds of master (4.3.0.0alpha1+) from here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ you'll very quickly identify if your work flow is going to ever be supported. Try them first in a parallel install, and perhaps side-by-side with GNUmeric.
