I'm not sure that's the case. These are my test machines so I access them several times per week. I can't see how its possible that they've aged out. As Mark mentioned when he came across this at a previous engagement, the "missing" clients show up in the All Systems collection as being an active client. Just for some reason, this is happening within this collection. I guess I'll try deleting the collection all together and recreating it. Just hope this doesn't frequently happen later on down the road (we are currently in the process of migrating to 2012). If so, I'll open a ticket with MS.
As far as the blank spaces, I saw that happen quite frequently in SCCM 2007 when adding resources to a collection with the right click tools. I don't remember it happening if I added machines to a collection with another tool such as Collection Injection. I was hoping that the Powershell-based 2012 right click tools would fix that.

If you do a select * from collection_rules where QueryName = '' it should show all of the rows where this is occurring in each collection for cleanup purposes. If this is in fact the case, I'd suggest submitting a connect.microsoft.com bug to improve the clean-up of aged out clients which have direct memberships.

I have a direct membership (device) collection that indicates there are 6 machines when I look at the membership through the collection properties window (even though they appear as blank spaces). However, within the console, it only shows 2 machines. I've updated collection membership, refreshed, waited hours, removed all of the machines from the collection and added them through the "Add resources" built-in method (as opposed to right click tools) and still, it only shows 2 computers in the collection. Has anyone seen this before? What else can I try? Its only a test collection so its not a big deal if I have to recreate it but in case this happens in the future, wanted to see if there was a known solution. Also, I was hoping that the blank spaces "glitch" shown below was fixed in 2012. Just curious, what causes this? I only remember it happening when you add computers to a collection via the right click tools, but I could be wrong about that.
