Perhaps it would be help to log the bugs we run across separate to our thoughts and impressions?
- I hit some Unfinished Pirates today, off Mutton Island. Rather than entering combat, every time the boats touched, it gave me the event card about the Yellow Eyed Maid climbing on the ceiling.
- Occasionally my fragments don't add up into a secret, they just keep going and the meter advises me to collect -18 (for example) fragments for a new secret.

Did you send them a bug report? In the email about beta access they detailed how to do that and what they want from you in terms of details.

Par for the course. If only 5% of people miss something, then that's 70 people out of 1400 beta testers. We don't want to shut down discussion, because it's sooo useful, and we know everyone wants to talk anyway. But we will be gently ushering people in the direction of sunlesssea@failbettergames.com for bug reports.

I was playing the SS Beta normally for two hours, when images started to disappear, especially the officer's portraits.
A few minutes later, the whole game crashed.
A box appeared with the content "The game crashed. The crash report folder named "2014-04-30-210500" next to game executable. It would be great if you send [...]", but but here is no such folder on my computer. I don't know if I should bother to email this to the developers, because there is not really anything I can tell them.???
I'd drop them a line anyway. It may be they have specific questions that might drag knowledge out of you that you didn't realise you had. Or they have other ideas. Fatal crashes are pretty bad bugs, they'll want to hear about them even if they can't do much about them for now.
With no computer knowledge at all, I want to say something clever and wise about 'memory leak' - but that would be using language I've picked up from trashy films, so I best not.
When you submit a bug report, you get an auto-reply asking for this: Your debug output_log.txt file located in your Sunless Sea_data directory.
I find that directory here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sunless Sea\Sunless Sea_Data (however I don't have such a text file. :-S - I'll keep looking till someone more brainy swoops in. {I don't have one - I have one for Gone Home, but not Sunless Sea. Whether this is because I've never crashed it, or that in itself is a bug, I don't know.)
