hopefully this helps but i noticed also when i lose comments everything comment wise for the entry is set back to "Journal Default"- like this post:

any new comments are supposed to be screened and that works up until the comments disappear, and then it sets it back to "Journal Default" instead of screening all responces.
as far as my other posts that i lost comments in go- i don't adjust anything in them, i just keep it set to how the journal has it. my journal default is to screen anonymous comments and log anonymous ips.
