So, after grabbing BG2:EE and gave it one playthrough I couldn't help but miss the good old BG2 (modded, of course) with so many enhancements compared with the EE version. I decided to reinstall BG2, starting from scratch, with a selected number of mods.
This issue first poped up when a Planetar cast Improved Invisibility 10' on me when my HP drops low (I'm still in play testing, and haven't even biff'ed - I get like 0.5 FPS in game). Long story short, I found out the game crashes when Devas and Planetars are targeted by the Invisibility effect. The vanilla game does not have this issue.
The mods I have which affect celestials in some way are: P&P Celestials, 1PP, and Spell Revisions. P&P Celestials only affect their AI, or basically just what they do. Spell Revisions change their animations to those of human form - to take advantage of "attachable wings", and 1PP kind of makes them look "solid" instead of blurry like they used to be, with some color enhancements. I can get rid of this crash by changing their animations to human, as per Spell Revisions. Invisibility works fine on them when they're in human form.
In short, I like both how 1PP makes them look much better, and I also like the attachable wings - a lot, I might add. Obviously, I can have only one of the two: I can keep them either in solar form, or in human form with wings. So I thought I'd just point this out, to see if there's anything that can be done about this issue.
A thousand thanks to modders. Always have appreciated your work.

I downloaded all of the above just in Dec 2013, so they should be quite up-to-date. Most of them I selected only 1 or 2 or a few components to avoid compatibility issues.
Edit: SOLAR animation does not cause crash. Only ANTISOLAR animation does. Also, the error message in ToBEx DOS window when the game crash is:
ASSERTION FAILED! Return Address: 0x9CCAD1 File: ChVidImage.cpp Line: 1910 Expression: !((dwFlags & CVIDIMG_TRANSLUCENT) && (dwFlags & CVIDCELL_BRIGHTEST)) Message: (null)
