Good bug report :) I see exactly the same behaviour. I'd add that if I connect to a non-BE server (change filter prefs to make sure), then I have no problems at all. In my case, the error is "Unhandled exception 0x80000003 at address 0x6b88dd (thread 0009); 0x006b88dd: int $3". My situation is slightly different, as I'm running it under Wine, but it was fine up until 1.17[67]. In that version, BE started to hook into the scripting engine with breakpoints (which is what the "int $3" assembler instruction is), and presumably something to do with this isn't working. Perhaps the interrupt handler isn't installed in time? I fear there's not a lot we can do about it, short of emailing the crash reports to BE and hoping they find the cause. See http://battleye.com/support.html and be very polite :)
