I've had similar behavior through Github Copilot. It somehow messed up the diff format to make changes, left a mangled file, said "I'll simply delete the file and recreate it from memory", and then didn't have enough of the original file in context anymore to recreate it. At least Copilot has an easy undo for one step of file changes, although I try to git commit before letting it touch anything.
