Kodi crashes because the core is run in the same process space, and a segfault anywhere bring down Kodi too. The solution is to run all cores out-of-process, but this is difficult because we support so many platforms and each one has their own inter-process communication protocol (if one exists on the platform at all).

Oh, that's a real showstopper then at least for scumm vm i'm afraid. Because there always might be something going on and usually it then crashes to the debugger, as mentioned. Isn't there another way to trap that specific core, so that it could just stop working? (I have no idea about that stuff, I am just a little java coder, so i can't do much to help here)
