Looks like this bug triggers from a variety of actions and with some
different results.  I thought I should weigh in on some of the questions you
posed to Darcy.

I went back and looked closely at the damage to my file and discovered that:
    1. Every staff in my file was affected to some degree.
    2. Most Layer 1 entries were deleted
    3. Most Layer 2-4 entries were intact
    4. All measure attached smart shapes, score expressions and staff styles
       I checked were kept

The file size was smaller - went from 160KB to 136KB.  I also checked the
file integrity of the affected file and came up with the following:

    "This file may be missing a few notes or rests. We suggest you proofread
    the document. You may find the Check Durations plug-in helpful in
    determining if any measures are not complete."
 
LOL!  (I didn't bother to run the Check Durations plug-in.)

The summary of the detailed report was:
 
     221 Unused Entries
     1253 Orphaned Entry Details
     16 Repaired Entries
     544 Repaired Frames
     0 Missing Measures Replaced
     0 Repaired Staff Optimization Lists
     0 Unnecessary Measure Expressions Removed
     0 Cross-linked Mid-Measure Clefs Repaired

And a listing of hundreds of missing entries and the measures in which they
couldn't be found.

BTW, when working with the file integrity report I couldn't copy and paste
any of that information as the report suggested, and 2006 kept quitting if I
left the report open for a while.  Guess I'll send that in to MM.

I have the damaged file if anyone wants to look at it.  I could also send
the file I salvaged from backup for sake of comparison.
