What happens when withdrawals from an exchange go into thin air?

You lose the coins. Generally a good idea not to exchange coins during a fork. You never know what's going to happen. Now if you were to exchange coins to another coin, you're basically walking away with free coin. Which is what BCX claimed he was going to do to cryptsy... like revenge for something bigvern did. He had it out for him for some reason.

Yes I might lose coins but people will lose confidence in Tag. I might know when a fork going on, but there isn't a warning sign that pops up on exchanges or wallets warning users if there is currently a fork.

We've had 2 forks within 48 hours (I'm guessing) with orphans left right and center and no changes even getting thought about. A fork prone coin is hardly going to be taken seriously when people start losing coins depositing and withdrawing from exchanges. Having said that I know it's important to not rush into a fix, better to get it right than to create other different problems.

Re. BCX well I hope his motivation was justified. I went back over that section of the thread, he told people what he was doing, mining all the forks then later strengthening one fork while killing off others, and told everyone which fork to throw hash onto. Bad goodguy or good badguy? He never did clear up what he had against Bigvern, just that they had settled their disagreement.
