Unfortunately, it appears to *BE* Linux or the netatalk server - others have
reported these kind of incidents, and I have experienced it myself in the
meantime.
The best common denominator I could figure out by now is that if a Mac
crashes while writing to the server, the event wipes out the directory it
was writing to.

Nope, it's not Quark's fault - you describe the exact symptons others have
had.
My question - was the money saved by using Linux/netatalk, or the point you
were trying to make about alternate platforms worth the gigs of data that
were lost?
