You can easily reproduce the crash, so you should be able to easily
run it under gdb and see where it crashed? when using libqmi, as long
as you have proper references for all relevant objects (device,
client..) then a modem going away should not be an issue. The
QmiDevice will emit a device removed signal, and the QmiClient objects
won´t be able to process any futher operations (and the current ones
wiil fail cleanly).

That issue is in ModemManager, unrelated to libqmi and unrelated to
your own code :)
