Unfortunately, for me, this *was* a data loss bug.

I noticed a whole bunch of jpg files in my home directory and thought "hey, they shouldn't be there, I must have file-copied them here from my camera as I sometimes do. I can see f-spot has them and I know it keeps stuff in ~/Photos so I'll just delete them... hey, why aren't they showing up in f-spot anymore???".

They had already been deleted from the camera, and my nightly backup hadn't yet run. AUGH!!! Bye-bye photos.

OK, so I really, really should have checked it all further first, and the data loss was due to my own haste and stupidity in addition to this bug, but still...
