Had this problem last night...had written a pretty lengthy bug report (since I was in-game I was trying to give as much detail as possible while it was fresh in my mind).
So, after I lost it (both ways), I filled out a bug report for *that* issue, and received a reasonably prompt (within the same session at least) reply stating that it was a known issue and would be fixed "sometime".
However, I checked the Stickied "Known Issues" list, and it's not there.
Based on the responses so far, I'm willing to believe the CSR that it is a known issue, so it would be nice to see the either the current list or (if the current list is for a certain class of bugs) a new list. That way I could review the list and try to avoid the situation.
BTW, I now avoid this situation by making sure my companions all have at least 5-10 minutes before returning from their next missions, or hold off on assigning them new quick ones. Technically I paying them do nothing while they're on my clock, but it's only a few minutes, so it's not worth docking their pay.
