I found that sending a SIGHUP to an in-place rewriting metadata-only command (e.g. MP4Box "file.mp4" -itags title="file":cover="cover.jpg":tool=None) can irreparably damage a file. I only lost one before adding -no-inplace to all my scripts. Still...

Worth mentioning? That page would be the place.
