A legitimate concern, but I wonder if it could be mitigated these days by some clever electronics sensing and compensating for this type of effect?

  The question is how you'd compensate. I don't know of any widely-deployed variable-strength suspension. There is tech around to do it, but I don't think it's generally available. I'm guessing you wouldn't want to do it with the steering or brakes...

    I know nothing about anything on this subject, but could adding downforce (thereby adding friction/grip between the tires and road) help compensate for crosswind? If yes, then surely there must be some reasonable way for a front-end and rear wing mechanism to automatically adjust to create extra downforce during short bursts of crosswinds.

    GM started shipping one in Cadillacs 10 years ago and uses it somewhat more these days: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide

      Coincidentally about when I got out of the car-making business :-)
