When broadcasting a transaction that I've signed on my offline box, I normally select the option to delete the transaction when done.

So I was rather alarmed when after Armory told me that it had failed to broadcast the transaction to the network (first time this has ever happened to me) I discovered that Armory had gone ahead and deleted the transaction anyway!

Fortunately for me:
  • The transaction did in fact make it to the blockchain; and
  • The raw transaction was dumped to stdout/stderr anyway

I guess you can't actually lose money this way, but still, it is a somewhat nasty (if minor) bug that certainly gave me a bit of a fright - having things go wrong on any transaction more than a few bitcents always creates a bit of a sense of panic and dread :-/

Sorry, I thought I'd kept a copy of what it wrote to stdout/stderr, but I can't locate it now.  But hopefully the deletion issue should be easy enough to fix without more info, even if the underlying error is less so.

This was in 0.87

Ironically, I just had this same "problem".  Except that the transaction does not get entirely deleted... it just gets renamed to *.SENT.tx.  It's still there... but you have to select "All Files".  I should've made that more obvious somehow...
