I have a ton of custom software on my phone and I have never had that lockup happen unless I forget to uncheck that box after flashing a new rom.
I will say this though, I use the charger from my mogul since it has a longer cord i can pick up the phone without yanking the charger out of the wall.
also every night I check to make sure my alarm is set, kill all programs running in the background, and then turn the screen off via the power button and set the phone on my nightstand face down. (the lcd is distracting when I try to sleep).
of the people that had a freeze happen after unchecking the box, how many of you make sure to kill all running programs every night before you go to sleep? I am a business analyst and I am paid to find trends in situations. the biggest trend I see here is that when people have locking up phones, I never hear anything about them making sure to kill running programs when they are done with them.
The same goes for people on PC's I get calls from friends about their computer locking up all the time and acting slow, and when I come over to troubleshoot. they have usually between 20 instances of IE open, along with everything else they used within the last centuary.
just make it part of your routeen to open the task manager and kill all running programs and that will save you hours of headache later on.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty anal about closing all my programs but I still experienced the lockup a few times before I did a hard reset.
There are a number of different theories floating around in this thread as to what could be causing it. My personal theory: It has something to do with the alarm clock being set.
That's when I first saw it. I hadn't used my phone as an alarm. The first night that I did, it locked up. Could be a combination of installing the flip clock with other programs, but that's just my theory.
I don't buy the whole heat issue thing because I keep my room pretty cold at night. Wifi is off, no processes/programs running, screen is turned off via the power button, face up.
