I actually don't know which one (a coredump would have been useful,
I suppose).

Unsaved data are lost. And I don't know whether this is rare (I
don't use LibreOffice very often, so, mathematically, this makes
the proportion of crashes much higher than other software).

This would have been much more useful if LibreOffice had left
a coredump and/or some logs (such as a history of events).
