Yesterday I managed to reproduce the "funny" behavior I noticed first 
some weeks ago.

In short: When A is a person in a form, and I replace him with B, then B 
correctly gets the event ref attributes (i.e. the form data), but A 
loses event refs that don't have anything to do with the form.

Further down I describe the steps necessary to reproduce the effect. As 
the steps are numerous, I made a backup just before the critical step. 
The effect can be reproduced by importing the backup into a new database 
and then doing the critical step. I attach the backup file, hoping that 
the list allows attachments. If not, let me know if anyone is interested 
in the file.

Info about my Gramps:

     Child Sex "F"
     Father Occupation "Focc2"
     Mother Occupation "Mocc2"
     Informant Description "What2", Residence "Where2"
   OK
# Looking around:
# There are 8 persons, each with one form.
# There are 4 events,
#   2 births created by the form gramplet with C, F1 and
#     C, F2 respectively as primary participants,
#   occupation and religion with Person, Other as the main participant.
# Now proceed ...
Menu, Family Trees, Make Backup..., without media, OK
Person View, select "Person, Other"
   Forms tab in bottombar, select form (there is only the 1822 one), edit
   Details tab
     Informant select other person "I, F1" OK
     (only the name of the informant changed in the form)
   OK
==> Forms tab in bottombar is not empty, but shows form dated *1811*!!!
Person View, select "I, F1"
==> Forms tab in bottombar shows both forms as expected.
Person View, select "Person, Other"
   Forms tab in bottombar, select form (there is only one,
     dated 1811, role Informant), edit
==> Informant in form is "I, F1" and all fields contain info of form 1
   Cancel
Double click on "Person, Other" such that Person Editor opens
==> Events tab shows *only* the birth event of Form1 (and Person, Other 
has role Informant)
==> I.e. the Occupation and Religion events are *gone*!!!
   Cancel
Event View
==> Occupation and Religion Event are still there, main
     participant Person, Other (??? update problem, see below)
Double click an Occupation event, References tab:
==> Is *empty*!
   Cancel
Double click on Birth event of 1811, References tab:
==> 5 Persons listed, the four expected "X, F1" plus Person, Other
   Cancel
Menu, Family Trees, Manage Family Trees, open other database
Menu, Family Trees, Manage Family Trees, open Formtest3 again
Event View
==> Occupation and Religion Event are still there, but have no main
     participant any more (thus participants shown before may have
     been update problem)
# Conclusion:
# *Replacing person A by person B in a form wreaks havoc on the
   event refs of person A.*

Retry:
New database "Formtest3_from_Backup"
Import backup created previously
Replace Informant in Form2 as described above
==> Same result
