Disappearing VASL Counters

I’ve been playing VASL online, and on occasion when another player joins my room a random stack of counters will disappear. Even weirder was the fact that a couple days later the stack that disappeared reappeared in the same place as it had been before.
I had been saving the game after every turn to the same .vsav file - is it possible that overwriting the save file was a bad idea?

This happened with:
Windows 8.1
VASSAL 3.2.15
VASL 6.3.0 (I’m not sure which VASL version my opponent has)

My best guess is that you were having a synchronization problem.
