Welcome to the joys of ossia measures. The ossia measure is disappearing because you have attached it to the scratch staff. When you double click to create the ossia measure, make sure that you double click on a "real" staff, one that is not going to be hidden. In the Ossia Measure Designer you can change the source staff, but you cannot change the staff to which the ossia has been attached: once you've double-clicked on a staff, the ossia is attached to this staff for ever.
