Movei can crash if you give it illegal FEN. I cannot change movei in a short time to detect every illegal FEN that may make it crash. FEN that may make it to crash is not only FEN when one side has 2 kings or no king but also FEN when the king is attacked from 3 directions(movei assume that the king can be attacked from at most 2 directions and if the king is attacked from 3 directions it may crash). I do not think that I can fix all the problems in a short time and I certainly do not plan to work on fixing the problem before WCCC. I also consider to ask Leo to remove public versions of movei from his site because they can crash if you give them illegal FEN or game that has more than 1000 plies and a virus may use it to attack the computer of people who use movei.
