Agreeing with Ben I can confirm the situation.
When multiple instances of PcManFM run and one of them freezes by accessing a file by user as it has been described above, other instances' windows become unresponsive, but seemingly the running processes (eg. copying) run in the background. One time I waited until a copying process may end to not to ruin the USB file system, and it seemed the copying process finished successfully despite the UI became frozen. So I think the background processes are running despite the file manager window is frozen.

The freezing may be more frequent when using an USB stick drive or something like that, but it is not depend on the media, but may be the problem occures more frequently then.
