I'm sorry, but it's not possible the ability to possibly see passengers when landed, could have any effect on flight.
In addition to that, GSX disables itself when flying over 10K feet (try calling it, you'll see it's not working) so, it's not doing anything other than checking every 4 seconds your altitude, to know it's time to re-enable itself again.
So no, not only your crashes are unrelated to GSX, but there's no difference whatsoever between what the "old" GSX did when flying (nothing) and the new one (nothing too).
