Version: v1.1b-1236
Input mode: Controller
Platform: Steam
Repro-rate: I'm honestly too scared to try again. I lost a whole day and was not interested in risking another big chunk of time doing the same thing again.
Repro:

I'm not 100% but in the patch notes for v1.1b-1236 it mentions basically this exact issue, of crashes when using explosives. I was heading from floor 23-24. I don't think I used explosives on that floor (I believe I ran out a few floors before then).
It was a black screen. Pressing pause sounds like it brought up the load/save/quit menu, but I didn't hear any dpad sounds otherwise.
I really got the impression that it had faded out, failed to load the next level, and got stuck there. So the control wasn't returned to the player (except pausing), and because of the way the fade to black is implemented, it covered up the menu when it was suppsed to be displayed.

I pretty much refuse to try going to the cave now, especially if I can't save mid-day.

yep, if I have gotten a good drop I've been waiting for, I go into 'don't do ANYTHING risky' mode. No manual cooking, no caves, etc...

#

If I could save mid-day I don't think I'd care. Or you know, no crashes.
