For what it's worth, following are two bug reports Frescobaldi auto-emailed...

These two do in fact look like bugs in Frescobaldi, maybe Frescobaldi choking about a LilyPond process terminated abnormally.
However, we won't look into this specific code because the code handling the LilyPond (and other external) processes has been rewritten anyway in the meantime. This means that while I can't guarantee anything like error-free-ness (or whatever a proper English term would be) surely *this* exact error condition won't appear again ...

With respect to the version too old error, the fact that the compilation resulted in a fatal error is rather problematic.

This has been discussed pretty often, and it's the deliberate choice of the core developers that letting the program "fail" in this case is better than not.

1. Yes, it did 

Having downloaded LilyPond 2,19.82, the compilation attempt 'crashed and burned' at the start:

Starting lilypond-windows.exe [May-Jesus-Christ-Be-Praised.ly]...

Exited with return code -1073741819.

Would version 2.19.82 be a workaround?
