A weird bug/occurrence

I was trying to make a copy of a stack to take on the road, by:

1. Saving the stack and closing LC on one Mac. (mountain lion, LC 6.5.2)
2. Copying the stack to a USB drive.
3. Copying the stack to another Mac (Mavericks, LC 6.5.2)

I opened the stack, and saw what I thought was an earlier revision -- half
of one card, with fields and buttons I had added, was missing.

I repeated several times, and no luck. I took it as some way that I was
copying the wrong file (a backup, perhaps) and decided to live with it,
because I was out of time.

Later, on the Mavericks mac, I was modifying that stack. I had taken
several steps toward re-building what I had lost, when POP everything
appeared. literally just wasn't there, then it was.

It wasn't a single group (which could have been invisible, then visible).

It wasn't the whole card.

It was several controls -- fields and buttons -- loose on the card, that
somehow were invisible, or inaccessible, and then came back. Unfortunately
I never thought to look using Navigator to see if the miscreant items were
invisible or really (seemingly) not there.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
