I have many tabs and windows open in Safari (50-100 or so). Today, I witnessed 3 occasions where Safari suddenly reloaded all tabs and windows. So far, I couldn't reproduce the issue.

This happens to me multiple times a day. Definitely is exasperated by low 'free' memory. With 8GB of RAM, Photoshop CS5 and Safari (with about 15 windows open) practically use up all of my memory and Safari force-reloads multiple times a day.

I think this is related to Automatic Termination. I too find it annoying, especially because session cookies get reset.

I'd agree. It has happened to me more than once with ~20 tabs open but more than ~70% of wired+used memory.
