It definitely looks to be a problem with reflective shaders attached to objects.

First using a TG sphere object.
Second using an imported object.  Not an actual crash but When I clicked to stop the render TG stopped rendering and had to be closed with the task manager. 
Third: Imported object, no reflective shader.

Test scenes and sphere object are in the zip.

Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast.

I've found the cause of the crash hang, and it's actually been fixed by another bug fix I made a few days ago. It also renders these scenes much faster now that the problem has been fixed. We're aiming for another Tech Preview update very soon.

Just because milk is white doesn't mean that clouds are made of milk.

That's great, I was able to reproduce my own windscreen as ml did, with the same glitch

@Matt,

Out of curiosity, is this related to the "block-render missing" error?

That's good to hear, I bet you wish all the bugs were like that.  ;D

I don't know at this point :/  It's possible.

ML: You have no idea how much I wish that! :)
