Allan, thanks for sticking with me on this....

Yes, that is not my issue.

I would not bet my life on the command-s and then switch idea.  It is  
my workflow:
save -> switch to browser -> refresh -> switch back to TM.

I rarely would ever need to toggle from TM without a save.

Oh, I have seen this indeed, and it usually leads to a crash. If  
command-n takes more than a second, and I get a beach-ball, I will end  
up with a crash.  hitting the preview in running browsers is something  
that will crash me on occasion as well.  TM is so fast to launch, I  
rarely mind, but it does happen enough that I have gotten in the habit  
of clearing out the logs folder, as there become hundreds of them.

I think I can time machine and get a good deal of them back..
Here are a few:

And one Safari one, since that is caused to crash by TM, when I tell  
TM to preview in running browsers:

Thank you again, I will be paying closer attention to try to get a  
repeatable case.
