This mangling is the biggest complaint I see on the OOoWiki. Users who edit a page with the FCKEditor make a change and save. Behind the scenes the FCKEditor has completely rearranged the raw wiki syntax. So a minor change turns into a 100% content change with you do a compare in the history. I'd love to know a workaround to this... other than removing the FCKEditor.
