I think there is a difference in that an Apple developer is likely to be eager to get his hands on a copy of Snow Leopard and test against it. Calibre on the other-hand is a cross-platform package whose main development is on Linux. Therefore there is less incentive to test against a OS that is still pre-release (and thus subject to changes), especially if you have go the NDA route to get hold of a copy.
Another point it is that as Calibre is Open Source the ideal way forward is for someone who is already using Snow Leopard to find the cause of the crash and submit the patch to fix the issue. Such a developer is more likely to be used to interpeting OSX crash reports. This leaves Kovid free to work on new features and fixing bugs that affect all platforms. The crash could well be in one of the 3rd party libraries that calibre uses - in which case one will have to wait anyway for the author of that library to fix the problem.
