I found out whats going on here. InAppBrowser uses the android web view by default. Android Web View does not handle downloads by default, because it cannot render or download files (except html, css & js of course), so you have to register a download listener and handle it yourself. If you don't handle it yourself and just register the listener, the web view will crash (and so will your app), if the user klicks a download link.
As workaround, you can try to modify the java code of the InAppBrowser yourself as described here.
Edit: Found another possible workaround, without messing around with native java code. Link to Stackoverflow. You can inject javascript into the browser, register with the injected script a custom click listener onto your anchor links and send the download url with over the message api back to your cordova context to download the file yourself. I'm working on that right now.

Please create a new Cordova project with a minimal setup to replicate the issue. Then put it on Github and post the link to it here. Thanks.

@janpio How is it going with this? I'm currently facing the same problem. I could setup a minimal repo, if still needed.
This project is still maintained, right?
