Happy to try and help. Like vito86b, I have already emailed my zipped logs in - do I need to send them again??
I will disable spin-down, which I do have enabled - but my NAS is set to auto-shutdown at 2am and I haven't been to bed that late since I upgraded to 6.4.0 so I'm pretty sure the discs would all be spun down at the time of shutdown every night - and this only happened the once, all other nights it's been completely fine.

There are things that happen automatically (checking for updates for firmware and antivirus, SMART tests on the disks, snapshot creation/pruning). So they might not be always spun down.
Spindown might not be related at all btw, I think disabling it is just a probe to get more information. If you want to do more, you could put more shutdowns/powerups into your schedule, just to see what happens.
I actually had issues at first with 6.40 Beta 2. My third party apps kept shutting down randomly. Noticed this most with SABnzbd, SickRage, and Plex Media Server. A factory reset along with reinstalling all said apps seems to have fixed it, though.
Out of curiousity, do you think this might be because of the major upgrade (possibly the kernel change), or do you think it likely I'll have to do a factory reset when Beta 3 comes out as well?
Edit:
Sorry, forgot to mention, this was on the ReadyNAS 316.
Well without logs it would be impossible to diagnose.
It could be that installing the apps over the top of themselves may have resolved the issue or that something else was going on, but without logs downloaded before the factory reset we can only speculate.
A factory reset is a last resort and shouldn't be necessary. Having said that the factory reset you've done has given you a clean setup on 6.4.0 Beta 2 with the new kernel.

Actually, I had issues installing some apps before the factory reset also, had one that couldn't complete an update or uninstall. Figured a "clean install" was best to resolve all issues. Could well be that there was "something else" going on.
If you can backup your data, do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and provide detailed steps to reproduce that would be appreciated. Or if not, if you could power down, remove your disks (label order) and use some other disks to provide detailed steps to reproduce.
Unfortunately its a 4x4TB array and its nearly full and I don't have 12TB space elsewhere (or at all) to back up to.
I don't have to 'do' anything to reproduce. It just hangs on about 1 in 3 auto-shutdowns. In terms of usage there is nothing different about the successes/failures. It auto-shutdowns at 2am and I'm never using it at that time (I do appreciate that it might be doing internal tasks at the time).
[I also seem to have another issue, I keep getting 8007003b errors in windows when writing to it when another PC is reading from it. This is new since Beta 4 - BUT I've also filled it up and its about 95% full now, so i'm taking stuff off and will balance it at about 80% before making any judgements.]
Is it possible to downgrade to 6.2.5 via USB recovery or the like (or is that destructive)??
I think I have a spare drive to do a factory reset with - but I assume I would then be able to reinsert the 4 original drives and access the array OK??
