--- Comment #1 from Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> ---
Brad also has a suggestion (along with a bug report) for a workflow to make
these easier to identify:

"One way to catch this for debugging purposes would be for the VisualEditor to
make a note at tuntime of which sections of the article have been edited
visually, for the JS code to report this to the server at save time, and then
to check on the server side which sections of the article have changed in the
wikitext diff. If (a) the section structure of the article remains unchanged
from before the edit, and (b) there are wikitext differences in sections that
have not been changed by the editor in visual mode, then something's clearly
gone wrong, and the edit session should be auto-reported to the programming
team. (Please don't try to use this idea as an error concealment technique:
these errors shouldn't occur, as every one of them reveals some sort of bug,
either in the code or the data model, and hiding them would make the software
more, rather than less brittle.)"
