When opening a new extraction of the game, set a name in the config, run a game and crash for some reason, the change you made to your name does not save and as such is reverted to whatever the previous setting was. Any chance of saving the configurations when exiting the configuration menu if the configurations are dirty instead of on a successful game exit?

I don't think it is worth it, it shouldn't crash in the first place.

Happens due to any unclean shutdown though, such as power off, receiving an interrupt, etc.

I actually disagree with you on that kovarex. I've seen various AAA and bigger games taking this approach due to being easier just to save the configurations instead of guaranteeing that it won't crash under any OS/Software/HW/User combination. Normally, they incorporate this by, when exiting the options menu, you actually need to press "Save" or "Apply" to close the menu. Although this is something minor, if it's a trivial task, I think it should be incorporated.

Ok, waiting for 0.13

Fixed in 0.13.9.
