Yep, I had (have...) the same problem. I don't think it's tweaking while
playing back tho, as it's happened many times to me and I always stop
playback before tweaking. I don't really know what's causing it.
It's certainly annoying as hell.
What I did to fix the "broken" xml file was create a sed script-file
containing:
s,<PLUGIN LENGTH="0" TYPE="0" TITLE=""><IN></IN><OUT></OUT><ON></ON><KEYFRAME
POSITION="[[:digit:]]*" DEFAULT="1"></KEYFRAME></PLUGIN>,,g
and run the xml file through it:
cat file.xml | tr -d '\n' | sed -f sedscriptfile > fixed.xml
although using perl should work fine too.
