On a 197 KB .odt file (82 pages), I removed contents, then when
I noticed an unexpected break of a cross-reference (the target
was still there), I typed Ctrl-Z several times to undo, but at
some point, LibreOffice crashed without a coredump.

I did not find a way to reproduce the crash.

Surely not. It's either in -core or in -writer. ;-) libreoffice is only a metapackage :)
Why? i'd argue it's normal. Especially if it only happens rare. Not every crash is important.

Which is not exactly helpful for forwarding upstream....

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).
