Did a quick test using the giude cam simuator and simulated cam in APT, looking much better. I can see a difference in how it behaves between a lost star and if you clcik in PHD to change it from guiding to looping exposures (If you go back to looping exposure and no star selected during a dither it hangs like before) I don't know how you would solve that one, the only difference I can see is APT reporting PHD as connected instead of a distance to a guide star if you set it back to looping exposures, unless you can make it time out in progress dithers if the status goes back to connected as well as lost star.

Probably not important given the user has to actually go in and do something manually to make that happen when they should really be leaving it alone to get on with the imaging plan.
