Never heard of a such a problem, ever. And it's hard for me to believe,
honestly, because a bug this fundamental should have been easily spotted
over the course of four years of development and testing.
My suspicion is that the symptom of your problem (losing local
modifications) is coming from a complex mixture of user actions which
result in accidental data loss. (PEBKAC, in other words.) But hey, I
could be wrong. It would be fantastic if you can find a way to
reproduce.
