Hi, I had similar problem once and it was caused by combination of unhandled exception + ajax-error.
When exception occurs in partial/ajax request/respose (for example SQL exception), JSF send back to client XML with following structure: <partial-response> <error> <error-name>...</error-name> <error-message>...</error-message> </error> </partial-response> this XML does not contain ViewState update element. I can't recollect now fully, but somehow was possible, that saved state was removed from server cache on successful restore view (something with params NUMBER_OF_SEQUENTIAL_VIEWS_IN_SESSION and NUMBER_OF_VIEWS_IN_SESSION) and viewState on client not updated because of ajax error handling. Is VVE reproducible when you throw an exception in garageSaleJSFActions.updateCart ?
