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.
