Howdy,
Several weeks ago, someone asked why the comments they were putting into
tomcat-users.xml get erased all the time.  This is because the
UserDatabase implementation reads the tomcat-users.xml file at startup
and writes it at shutdown.  This class doesn't maintain comments or
spacing.

Your issue is worse though, and gives me a bit of a concern.  Tomcat
should not corrupt its own configuration files even in the event of an
improper shutdown.  Can you please verify the circumstances under which
this file gets erased?  If you could come up with a reproducible process
for causing this, and submit it to Bugzilla, that'd be great.
