Andrew,
if you could reproduce such behavior, it'd be of great value for the
developers I'd suppose. Not constantly reproducible failures are very
difficult to pin down. I'd suggest to write a bug (or contact the qa list
first) and then to try to reproduce the failure with debugging enabled. I'm
not an expert but IMHO this could help to find the root cause of this
occasional figure loss. It also would help to save the original document
(before the loss) for investigations on its (maybe unvisibly broken)
structure, and of course, the broken document, too.
Just an 2ยข opinion

Blew a bunch of time on it already. I intend to spend a few hours trying
to reproduce with my original files... Last time I had a problem like
this it was tracked down to a strange combination in the way that the
image was embedded as a character inside a frame (and that has long
since been fixed).
My original speculation was that this was introduced in the code cleanup
(which is totally false if this existed in OOo just before the split). I
track some of the developer patches when I have time and many of the
changes are very far reaching with some very tricky changes.
If I can reproduce I may spend some time trying to find where things go
awry, but for this one I would need to poke some developers. last issue
I found I was able to track it in the code and I ended up emailing with
the developer that inadvertently introduced the bug. Although we
disagreed with the final solution, a solution is in the current LO
version (I checked that it made it into this release). This particular
bug would exist in code where I have never looked.
Building LO was much easier than last time I tried to build OOo, which
was many years back.
