Bug in OS X Leopard leads to possible data loss!

It was found a nasty bug in the directory moving code of Leopard's Finder. It seems that if a destination volume disappears during a moving operation, all data is lost. This happens regardless of the type of destination (local, USB, Firewire or SMB).
It's also being said that this bug is present in Tiger and Panther too, but with no real proof so far.
You can read more about this here, and watch a video of the bug in action here.
