Confirmed on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070202 Thunderbird/2.0pre ID:2007020204

Though it's not very easy to get in that situation... Seems you have to drop the attachment on the auto-complete popup for the hang to happen.

WFM  in current trunk on vista or XP, as soon as I click the file to select, autocomplete finishes

I'd say WFM in 2.0.0.14 and 3.0a1 ID:2008050715 NO crash hang etc, vista
(out of focus/click in os, selects proposed .. )

Unable to reproduce in XP or Ubuntu 8.04.  As in wsmwk's case, as soon as I click on the file (including in Linux), the autocomplete dropdown goes away.
