Right, so just tested it and it's tricky.
There seems to be a dependence on the location you're saving to. If the disk is local, then it's fine, but if it's a samba mount on windows, then it's a problem.
Also, I can't reproduce it using Explorer, perhaps because it's too slow or does a move command differently. I am using Total Commander, and it crashes KiCad whenever I move the new project files.
It does not work if I delete the files, or if I copy, wait then delete.
It does not matter which project file you move, .pro, .sch, .kicad_pcb, all trigger the crash. I tried 1 file instead of all files at the same time, and 1 file also crashed KiCad.
Somehow the act of moving the files, triggers a crash, and from the looks of the module name it's in wxbase.

Again, the steps:
open KiCad 4.0.2 stable
create new project and save it to a samba share
go to that location with Total Commander
move all the created KiCad project files to a different folder (anywhere), but it must be a total commander move command (F6) or a ctrl+x and ctrl+v
KiCad.exe crashes as soon as the files are gone from the directory

If you think this is too obfuscated in the sense that I have to use this third party program and do it this way and do it on a samba share and no one is ever going to do it that way, so why fix it. Well, I've done it this way, and who knows how else this bug presents, it's a bug, it should be fixed.
