I've never crashed into a Witchspace Beacon yet.
As you always exit the wormhole at low velocity, regardless of your entry velocity, it must just be a numbers game (or should be) and it shouldn't need to be adjusted.
edit: mind you, I'm flying a standard ship. It may well be different for others.
Its not that you have time to react. The problem lies in actually exiting witchspace onto beacon. You just exit and explode. But since using 1.73.2 i haven't had this since (fingers crossed).
The problem i am currently disscussing though is launching from planet surface using planetfall.oxp where no beacon is involved it is just the altitude it launches you at.
OK, after some discussions and research with Eric, A_C and Kaks we've got a fairly good idea of what's going on and why things are going thrusters-up. So I've reworked the script a bit to get around what we think is the problem, and updated the OXP.
You can grab version 1.21 from box.net via the links in my sig below. That should solve your problem, although at the cosmetic cost that the launch from the planet doesn't look quite as nice any more.
Objective C, mmm, is that the same as C, C+, C++??
No, its not the same, but its probably close enough. If you have a mac you can get xcode for free, which will compile for you, if you are on windows or linux, then there are other people who can help you to build.
But in some systems it was impossible to fly in full screen mode with 1.72. (I could in 1.71). After touching a rudder key for a brief moment resulted in a complete loss of control in my flying. It took seconds before it recognised I released the key. Changing to windowed mode always solved that problem.
Eri, did you have any shader effects on at all with 1.72? Even simple shaders might explain that difference...

No, that was a 7 year old 700 MHz PPC Mac. No shaders. I was just strange that the FPS in full screen was a slightly better in full screen (Probably less background tasks) but flight behaviour was worse. The problem was mainly in the more crowded systems.
