Well, there are some places where there is a foreach device loop, but within
a single device those should be totally separate - the data from the two
interfaces should not be commingled.  Which report is this?

If they were deleted, then they were purged as inactive, but I fail to see
why they would be there at all.  There was a fix in the cvs a couple of days
ago, where one of the transitions wasn't being done, so items could be
duplicated.  Maybe try a fresh pull of the cvs...
