What makes you think our data structures might be unstable when we
get SIGTERM?  AFAIK this signal is only received when some external
process decides that Emacs should stop, so data structures should be
just as stable as when we receive SIGUSRn.

Huh?  SIGTERM is *the canonical way* to programmatically shut down an
application via a signal.
