However, some crashes seems to completely clear the GHI data, resetting everything. I have not got reports about this for many months, but the ticket can not be closed yet, since it is not verified.

The problem is mostly that WoW itself doesn't actually save the information permanently until it is shut down. It's kept in memory, and only when it shuts down properly does it actually save the information that the developer has marked as wanting to save.
The best workaround I've found for this is to reload the UI before quitting. The slash command "/reload" (without quotes) will reload the UI, which seems to save the variables and doesn't seem to crash.
