I also tend to go nuts over any creak.
But when I had the case where I wore crankrings enough that they skipped there was no warning whatsoever.
Everything was fine one day and the next day all of a sudden I got up out of the saddle and my foot went crashing down. I could have had a bad crash that very first time. I think I could easily have gotten hurt even without crashing too.
It really does sound like this is a progressive failure and not a sudden failure.. but still. To me it's not very different than fork steerers separating but they say it's a gradual separation.
