Next time it happens, could you save the corrupted buffer to some temp
file, and then compare that with the actual file's content, to get
a more precise description of the corruption?

You say it's a Python file.  What modes/packages do you use to edit
those files?  What does `M-: after-change-functions' and `M-:
before-change-functions' say in those buffers?
