I've encountered the arbitrary loss of book content from time to time without being able to pin down the cause over the years. Today I finally found one cause in particular that is similar to your problem exaltedwombat:

If I have a poorly formed EPUB that gives me the "This EPUB contains errors" warning, renaming a CSS file in the Styles folder will cause content from the specific poorly formed file to be dropped. My guess is it has to do with Sigil's automatic updates to the stylesheet links in the <head> of the files when a stylesheet is renamed.

I run Sigil 0.8.6 on Windows 8.1.
