Follow up:

I tried connecting to the Empeg twice more, and it froze in the same place while trying to download the list. At least I could reboot the Empeg and get it to play. So I put the Empeg in the car and drove out to dinner with my wife and kid. When I got back home (just now) I ran Emplode and it magically worked this time (after scanning the disk and rebuilding the music database once more).

Amazing thing: My changes were in there. They didn't get lost in the crash.

What is happening when it says it rebuilds the music database? How does it manage to self-repair like that, and why does it take several tries in order to reach this magic self-repair point?
