Here's what I did. First, I reinstated #626. Then I went to the bottom of the screen, clicked on Edit Content, and I copied what was in the TEXTAREA to a text editor. Then without making any changes, I saved it in Text mode. I went back to Edit Content again, and I copied what was in the TEXTAREA to another tab in my text editor. When running a comparison between these in my text editor, it found no differences between them. Likewise, the online comparison between the two latest revisions found no difference. As one last check, I did a comparison between #626 and the last revision, and I found no difference between them. So, as far as I can tell, the differences you found were from your own edits and not from any corruption of the text while saving.

ADDENDUM: I did some more comparisons with text copied from the database. The text saved in MemberSubmissions was a match for the others, and so was the text in revision #626. So, perhaps you did some editing while still in HTML mode instead of switching to Text mode right away.
