When NVDA crashes (and before it recovers from the crash), all keys are passed through. When it comes to laptop users (or those who use caps lock as a modifier key), this makes caps lock turn on even though it is not intended to. It would be very useful to have an alert (a beep, for example, or a speech alert when NVDA is done recovering) to let the user know of caps lock being turned on, or intercept the NVDA modifier keys even when NVDA is recovering from a crash. I personally would go with the latter, but I assume it would take too much time and effort. So, even the first one will be fine.
