A manual flatten (of course with undo enabled) does not seem to be affected by 
this.

Yes, this part is very primitive. And that's the weird part of it: it's not as 
if the code is doing all kinds of trickery to get it working: only a meagre 5 
lines of code can apparantly make krita crash without any obvious cause...
And indeed, it would be a good idea to merge the image on-the-fly, but that's 
not a very pressing thing to fix at the moment. As for the multiple-layer 
support: maybe we should just ignore them for the imagemagick code, and only 
implement these kind of things in specialized export filters that only handle 
xcf, psd and so.
