lotus domino - New fields (items) in Notes documents somehow vanished. Replication problem?

Question

I'll try to describe the situation:

• a Notes database, replicated to replicas on several servers
• by the way, it's late in the evening, very late... (say 23h)
• in one replica, we modified the design of a form to add another single-value text-field
• 5 minutes later, in same replica, we modified several documents, adding values to that field
• we also modified a view to reflects those new values (so we know they were there)
• the next day, the new items and values were gone, not even empty items were present
• all day, every hour, the database is replicated to at least two other servers
• there are no restrictive replication formulas
• during the night, replication is stopped
• also during the night, several agents are activated to update the documents
• none of the agents knows about the new field
• the form is set to Merge conflict in case of a conflict

I can't explain why those new fields/items and their values have been removed from the documents.

Can you?
