0.8.43 - Books disappearing!

Is anybody else having books completely disappear from a library when you move them to a new library and auto delete them from the original?

Just noticed it happened today because I wanted to read a series of three books by the same author and found that I only had two of them after moving them from the temporary library where I sort, convert if necessary and check metadata and then move to their permanent genera based separate library. I had imported about 250 books into this temporary library and moved a few strays that did not belong in the one genera and then moved the remainder into the fresh new library. This was when I noticed that at least one was missing.

Checked the library folders in Win Explorer and the book is not there either, so it is not just a matter of a corrupted Calibre database. The missing book is not in the Recycle bin either. Seems to have disappeared into the ether.

I have no idea how many books went missing other than the one I noted as it was a collection obtained from a third person and I've deleted the original file - which wasn't clever when I was still working on it.
