Very unstable.

Yes, many times.

Seems so, but ... due to the nature of the problem, verifying to have 
lost email is pretty difficult.

Many. Besides hard crashes, I am observing it filters filtering mails 
incorrectly, "tag"s popping up at random and imap-folder counts being 
incorrect.

One problem with my problems: Isolating the actual origin of my issues. 
These may easily not be directly be "bugs in thunderbird", but be 
side-effects of other issues ... Core dumps however are always bugs of 
the program dumping core.

Well, IMHO, this thunderbird was made part of Fedora prematurely.
