If the plugin detects an actual error when searching it will not remove links for books that were no longer found. It is assumed that any missed books were due to the error in that case. It is when things fail in ways that are not caught that links may be mistakenly removed. The most likely cause is a change to a website's page layout that is not handled by the plugin.

Amazon has become more consistent in its search results. I keep the "unlink" setting enabled and it hasn't been a problem for me.

I think the risk is slight. If you want to be cautious you can just use that setting from time to time in order to clean out old links.
