Wasn't there a Cancel Button on that warning dialog?
If you use Preview, it will show any well formed errors as you go. Yes you can use the well-formed check to find errors.
As for typical loss, I have seen nothing at all lost, and at worst a short piece of html code xml escaped and treated as text. Typically this is very easy to see.

Thanks Kevin. No, I don't know if there was any data loss.
Yes, I'm sure the save was made because at the bottom of the screen it said something like: 'EPUB saved but possibly with loss of data.'
(I tried to re-create the incident on another file but was unable to.)
I saved a bunch after that incident so checking the date/modification time won't help.
I'm attaching my preferences and confess I don't know what the most beneficial settings would be.
As I recall there was a Cancel button on the window. I guess I should've chosen that, but I thought Xing out of the window was the safest option and would essentially have the same effect as hitting the Cancel button.
And I was using Preview and saw no warnings there.
Good to know I can use the Well-formed Epub check to check for errors.
And good to know the data loss was minimal. And as I said, that's what the Save message said as well.
