What happens if a block becomes orphan? Its transactions are readded to the transaction pool, so they could be changed by the sender... So you would only need to wait for a split in the network to double spend your money?

I've never analysed the data myself, but I'd guess that honest splits tend to carry almost (if not exactly) the same transactions on each side of the split.
