I tried to explain this, but I don't think it was particularly clear. Once the "complete" event has fired, the data has been completely transferred to the OS. At that point, any gecko process crashing or getting killed will not be a problem. Only if the kernel panics, or if the battery is pulled out, or if the device is hit by one of these[1], will there be dataloss.
