Tell Finder to display extensions.
OS X no longer depends completely on the internal file creator & type
code - it uses those extensions. By hiding them, beside the name
collision issues, you create opportunities to accidentally run
trojans.
Next time a filename disappears during a Finder Copy, I will try
harder to find out what Kind of file is showing the problem among the
many others created in a similar way that don't behave this way.
Use Disk Utility to run a verify disk pass on each volume. Make sure
the file systems are clean.
And next time it happens, check your system log for errors.
