I've experienced some of the same type of "ghost" conflicts, however,
noticeably when putting new mail templates. If I put them by email,
then go into the web interface to check them, they don't show up --
instead, there appears to be no text for that particular template.
However, if I then put the same text using the web interface and then
retrieve the template via email, I find that I have the same text
repeated twice. I can't figure out what the problem is.
