Not too long ago, when I was going through the different difficulties with Sakuya A, I had the game crash on me twice on the Hard difficulty, just as I was finishing off one of Sekibanki's spells (her final spell the first time, and her second-last spell the second time), and I decided I wanted to try recreating the conditions that caused the crash and see if I could have it happen again while I was actually recording a run live.

Several tries later, it did indeed crash again as Sekibanki's final spell was ending, and here's the footage! I wonder if some combination of things involving Sakuya A's homing knives and Sekibanki's floating head(s) is causing this...

Also, note that Sekibanki's last spell did time out on me this time. I just could not stay lined up with her well enough, and my homing knives kept targeting her invincible head, which obviously wasn't helping. (At least in Sekibanki's second-last spell, the heads can be destroyed, and produce some point items, so targeting them there makes some sense, but I wish the knives were smart enough to not target something that can't be destroyed... But, then again, the knives are corrupted, so maybe that's how they're supposed to act...)

However, the other two times the game crashed on me, it was just as I had reduced the boss's life meter to zero, and it crashed the exact same way, so it appears that whether or not the spell times out doesn't matter.

Let's hope this issue is fixed in the full version of the game!

(6:06) Sekibanki's final spell begins.
(6:50-6:55) Game crash!

Also, I noticed upon playing this footage back, that just before time ran out on Sekibanki's final spell, the time limit slowed down for the last couple seconds. However, this wasn't the game lagging, as I was still getting a constant 60 FPS at that time, as shown in the lower-right corner. And, looking back at other timed patterns, it appears that the time limit was slowing down at various times as well. It's looking like Sakuya A's homing knives actually have the power to slow down the time limit as they're hitting the boss, which is very interesting! (Hmm... I'm wondering if that slowed-down time limit contributed to the game crash...)
