The problem is that the stash itself is a reflog, so there is no extra safety layer.
Recent versions of the git-stash(1) manpage[*] document a command that helps find the stashes: if you do not explicitly name them, the they will be called "WIP on <subject>" and can thus be found with
git fsck --unreachable |
grep commit | cut -d\ -f3 |
xargs git log --merges --no-walk --grep=WIP
