I'm not sure how better memory management would have prevented one thread from accessing another's now defunct stack data aside from not allowing it in the first place.

I wonder if it's possible that the blog poster is just using confusing terms in this one.

That is, would he by "stack" possibly refer to memory allocated from the heap and just used as a stack structure. The "first thread" he mentions would conceptually own the chunk and free it on exit, by hand.

It's a stretch, I admit. I guess he could've said "...memory that was a stack allocated..." if he really meant what I describe above. Oh well.
