@SigilBear: Nobody is denying that there might be a data loss problem with the macOS Sigil version and KevinH specifically pointed out that you might want to change your temp folder location:

Did you actually change your temp folder location via Edit > Preferences > General Settings > Set folder where temporary files should be created before you "lost" container.xml for the second time?

If so, there might be another problem with Sigil (or third-party apps such as eCanCrusher) and you'll need to follow KevinH's other instructions:

If you are on a Mac or Linux box, please try running the following command on that epub and paste its output here.

Code:
unzip -t PATHTOYOURPROBLEMEPUB
That will show us modification times of the contents and test the zip (epub) for errors.
Please note that without this information the Sigil developers won't be able to help you.

You also mentioned that you use eCanCrusher to manipulate your epub. What exactly do you use eCanCrusher for?
