Well when playing for a some time and then later on get in a boat and travel long distances, the game crashes while in the boat. Then when you load Minecraft back up, then open that same world, the boat disappears leaving you without a boat and in the water. Entities that were in the boat before the game crashes, they disappear along with the boat. Mules with a saddle that have items in the saddle, they also disappear with the mule. Also Minecraft freezes up and then crashes the game as well. Also when sprint swimming while bobbing up and down in the water, the screen flashes a ton of times. It flashes when going in and out of the water when sprint swimming. The flickers are at an extremely rapid rate. This wasn't in the previous beta update as it worked smoothly just fine in the update before this.

I’ve ran into the same problem and I have found that it is the auto save feature that freezes then crashes the game. I’m very troubled with it. I found this out with extensive texting in my text world and patience.
I get same crashes. But i find it happens much more when swimming or under water. Like 20 seconds swim does it.
Add insult to injury. When it does crash i loose mounts, saddles, armor, chests and anything in them also.minecarts also disapear. So do animals in pens no matter how small the pen.
this is happening to me too - I lose a farmer every single time it happens, so my automatic farms are basically useless. and all this after not being able to get past the menu screen when signed in to xbox live due to freezing. not signed in now, but game keeps crashing all the time
I don't know about the boat problem, as I haven't been in one when experiencing this problem. My game is still crashing and freezing anytime I am wandering around any one area for a length of time. I haven't noticed anything missing yet, but that would be very frustrating. It always seems when something gets fixed, something else will break. I just wish they weren't game breaking issues.
Thank you for your report!

I have been having this same exact issue, apart from the boat part, I never really go on boats in Minecraft.
Basically, for me, whenever I play the game, it launches and plays smoothly without many issues, apart from small lag here and there, then after about 20-30 minutes later, the game suddenly freezes on me, unfreezing for a brief second, before freezing again and crashing completely. This has never happened before until 1.6.0.8 released.
