I had the same kind of issue with handling random crashes. Though i did not find a way to avoid them, there is the possibility to restart the grunt-task upon a crash.

grunt.registerTask('karma-with-retry', function (opt) {
var done = this.async();
var count = 0;
var retry = function () {
    grunt.util.spawn({
        cmd : "grunt",
        args : ["connect", "karma"], // your tasks
        opts: {
            stdio: 'inherit'
        }
    }, function (error, result, code) {
        count++;
        if (error && code === 90 /* Replace with code thrown by karma */) {
            if(count < 5) {
                grunt.log.writeln("Retrying karma tests upon error: " + code );
                retry();
            } else {
                done(false);
            }
        } else {
            done(result);
        }
   });
}
retry();
});
