Empeg had mentioned something about some conditions where the empeg was waiting too long to save its data or something.. could that be what I'm experiencing?

Yes.

Is there a + patchlevel I can try out to see if it solves my problem?

Not unless there's been a new one posted in the last 24 hours that I haven't seen yet. Check the "Announcements" forum of this BBS as well as the downloads page at the official site. They will fix it and post the updates in those places soon.
