Do you watch the replay on PBEM?

I would say a qualified always as there is information in the replay seen no where else. An example is an enemy unit that moves into then out of your LOS. If you only see the ending positions, you might miss this movement.

There are times when I do skip a replay in a game. Examples already given in this thread apply, like when the game is already decided.

I find the replays in SB more susceptible to "bugging out" than in the PzC series which I am more familiar with. I have had more turn replays failing in SB. Not sure what causes it. The only cure I am aware of is to exit the game then reload the turn and skip the replay.

I think the key to preventing bugs is to take your hand off the mouse and let things play themselves out without touching the screen. It's why every SB game I have is set as having the 2D Zoom-Out as the default opening screen.
