Something similar happened to me once: Immediately after Weblate
reported I had successfully uploaded a PO file, I decided to translate a
new untranslated string.  This made Weblate lose all translations from
the previous PO file upload.

tl;dr: Yes, Weblate sometimes can lose translations.

Good to hear.
