That sounds as a very serious problem, however doesn't ring any bell. 
Attribute classes and statements as attached to groups can be only 
stored to and loaded from DB. So I don't think that configuration files 
matter here. There is also no write-cache that could trigger such 
situation. I would be less confident in case of objects that are stored 
in DB but can be also reloaded from config files, but that's not the 
case here.

I'd investigate whether perhaps you have some DB migration policy which 
looses some data written recently? Or maybe some of the data (e.g. 
groups) are re-initialized on each restart with either groovy script or 
via REST? In such case bugs in such automation may overwrite what is in DB.
