2) Wait until the 'Emergency Diagnostics Subsystem' dialog box shows.

Its 100% reproducible for me and has triggered on all 4 of the test games I have started. The only thing I get that is diferant form the vid you linked is that I don't get the voice over after the dialog box opens and then I get a COQ. Is it possible that I'm somehow missing a required redistributable?
I have also verified the integrity of the game cache. I'm going to try a clean reinstall of the game and post back.

 

Right, so it turns out whatever your using for the voiceover SPICIFICLY doesn't like it when C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common is located on another drive and liked up with a Windows Symbolic Link. Probably some poorly constructed bit of code somewhere that doesn't take symbolic links into account. Maybe a absolute path problem?

This was done so that my steam library could reside outside my C drive but maintain compatibility with programs (modding tools) that look for this exact install path. I can probably find a workaround by adding another steam library on the other drive.

I also went back to the stable branch to test and have found that I get a COQ here as well. This was NOT the case as of the previous stable version and I don't think it was the case a few days ago... I did notice I had an update to the steam redistributable package so I guess that could be the cultrate. So probably not a bug with Empyrion per-say but something you might want to keep an eye on incase someone else has the same problem.

=== Edit ===
Yep, adding a new steam library on the other drive and then moving my Empyrion install with steams built in tool fixs this for me.

=== Edit 2 ===
I have the windows crash dumps for Vuplex WebView.vuplex if you want them.

 

I don't really use clones much. For this it was just the a normal symbolic like to the common folder.
