No. The new laptop has no awareness of what's going on with the old one, so it is fine to move wallet.dat like this. (Though if you use the same wallet.dat on multiple computers at the same time, you will not have fun. Don't do this.)
There is no notion of "accounts" the way you are thinking. The wallet.dat file stores some key material and your transaction history, and the rest of the network is happily oblivious to what exactly is in there.
My guess is that if you copied wallet.dat before shutting down Bitcoin on the old system, the file you copied was not in a finalized state, hence the crash. If you shut down Bitcoin on the old laptop then re-copy the file, things might work for you. If not, this may be a bug with the Bitcoin client.
