That's my understanding as well. The memcache client determines what server to store it's data on via the hashing process, so then if that server dies, you lose that subset of data.
It's a cache, not a data store, so you don't lose data, you just have to refresh the cache like any other miss, and with the dead server removed from the list the clients will all adjust to using a different target (or just not caching that fraction, depending on your hash scheme).
But somehow membase is supposed to use the same client with persistent data on the server. I'm not sure how that works but I like the idea of clients that know how to load balance and fail over.
