Yes, Mathematica has always (?) supported such dependent bounds in iterated integrals.

Both versions of your input work just fine in Mathematica 9.0.0 under both Mac OS X 10.8.2 and Windows 7, the second returning result:

   -0.741019

I cannot imagine why you would get a kernel crash with this in 8.0.4.
