Does a Firerfox 5 crash in "private browsing" mode leave behind any history, files, cookies, etc. from that session?

No. Firefox keeps all session data (incl. cookies) in memory in PB mode and doesn't store any data on disk. Only the memory cache is used and not the disk cache (see the about:cache page).
