Allrighty... I'm back. So here's the sequence of events:
Saved the game the way I usually do earlier this afternoon: Save the game, then use the "Save and Exit" option, selecting the same file, and hitting "Cancel" when it asks me to overwrite. Exit out of the game as usual (this way, I'm not abandoning the career). Did not rollback SH3Commander.

Restarted SH3 by SH3Commander after picking the wife up from work and returning home. Reloaded the game, just to have the bug hit. Closed out of SH3 via "Alt-F4". Did not roll back SH3Commander.

Saved a copy of the Campaign and Cfg directories, along with the requested SH3Weather.log file. Ran SH3Weather, selected September and Random, had SH3Weather do its thing, then closed it. Copied the directories and the log file to another directory. Restarted SH3 and reloaded. Same problem occurred.

Saved and exited this time, saving to the "Bug" file. Attempted to restart the original bugged "ToPatrol" saved game. Bug hits again, boat's at the bottom of the ocean. Saved the game to the "Bug" file again. Used the usual procedure to save & exit. Rolled back SH3Commander this time.

Reran SH3Weather, selecting Random September weather again. Saved the directories and the log file again. Started SH3 back up, loading the "ToPatrol" game. Successful. The bug did not occur.

Here's the final SH3 Weather Log:
#2007-01-05 13:56:14#,"1","0","0","0","193","1","1","0","1","1 1",9,3,#FALSE#
#2007-01-05 16:53:34#,"1","0","0","0","76","1","1","0","1","11 ",9,3,#FALSE#
#2007-01-05 17:09:16#,"1","0","3","6","4","1","1","0","1","11" ,9,3,#FALSE#

My installed Mod's, according to JSGME:
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX - Main movie - 'Das Boot'
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Dec 23rd Corrections
Longer Repair Times LITE v1.31 (GWX compatible)
(along with GWX, obviously)

I'm going to try copying back those original files from the first backup, and see what happens.

Update: I rolled back SH3Commander, and copied the original corrupted files (then entire Campaign and Cfg directories), and reproduced the crash. Now I'll copy the new, working, directories back, and verify that they're still working. Then we get to compare the files, and see what SH3 doesn't like, right?
