So, I'm not a lua neither a mod programmer, but I found a workaround to use till a proper fix will be deployed by the author.
WARNING: this fix will allow to lunch the game, but I think that it may skill some checks, so strange behaviour are likely to happen.

To deploy the fix you have to edit the file "data-final-fixes.lua" inside the %appdata%/Factorio/mods/GDIW_0.17.5.zip archive (change %appdata% and the mod version according to your system).
Navigate till around line 73 .
You should find

if vro.result then
vrn.localised_name = {"item-name." .. vro.result}
elseif vro.main_product then
if data.raw.fluid[vro.main_product] then
vrn.localised_name = {"fluid-name." .. vro.main_product}
else
vrn.localised_name = {"item-name." .. vro.main_product}
end
elseif vro.results then
if vro.results[1] and vro.results[1].name then
vrn.localised_name = {vro.results[1].type .. "-name." .. vro.results[1].name}
else
--log("--GDIW-----------")
--log("failure on R:" .. vro.name .. " ")
--log(serpent.block(vro.results))
vrn.localised_name = {"recipe-name." .. vro.name}
end
end

substitute the line after "if vro.results[1] and vro.results[1].name then" with the followings

    log("Loading recipe named " .. vro.results[1].name .." ")
    if vro.results[1].type and not vro.results[1].type == nil then
      log("it's a " .. vro.results[1].type .." ")
      vrn.localised_name = {vro.results[1].type .. "-name." .. vro.results[1].name}
    else
      log("it doesn't have a type")
      vrn.localised_name = {vro.results[1].name}
    end

Save, update the archive, lunch the game and cross your fingers

0.18.0 still crashing :-(

@jacorem
the workaround still works ;-)

Thanks for sharing the fix! Have no experience with modding either, but got some regular programming knowledge and the fix makes sense. Though have no clue where those variables come from. xD

Should I create a new mod with the fix? this would require a change also with blueprint extension, but for this i have already a patch published.
I actually have enough other construction sites, but if it is desired I would do it :-)

I actually use Fluid Permutations now since you recommended it. Work like a charm in SEK2 for us (2 Player MP). So i personally don't see a need for it.
For those interested: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fluid_permutations

@Der_Failer
I have started to integrate Fluid Permutations in my Blueprint Extensions. so it can be used for mirroring.

In the latest 1.1.0 release, I have put in some extra handling (based off the above code) so HOPEFULLY mods which do wonky things with the results list wont cause my mod to implode.
