Hmm... Okay, I tried using a different character, got a souvenir, did the mission. Everything looked fine. Then I switched back to the original character this happened on: She now had lost her latest two souvenirs and only had the one from the second character. Huh?

Not sure how MA souvenirs are stored, I think they're local text files. I'd have to look.
EDIT:
Yep. There's a file in your CoH folder, called:
PlayerCreatedSouvenirClues.txt
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
There's only one souvenir file, which is shared across all characters that play through that installation (even other accounts). Obviously, this is flawed...
I can't quite account for the souvenirs disappearing, though - unless you switched computers maybe?
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
Mine disappeared tonight (both from my screen and the file). I only ever use this laptop. 
Dec out.
!!!!!!I figured it out!!!!!!
If you take a character you haven't done architect missions with before, and get a souvenir *without opening the souvenir window on that character* it will flush the existing file. Probably until you first open the souvenir window it doesn't know to read things into current memory, and it writes without reading when you get a new souvenir.
So make sure to open the souvenir window before headhunting.

Nope, that's not it. I haven't gone into MA on live with anything but my main.
Dec out.
***UPDATE***
I just confirmed it doesn't even matter if the character is new and has opened the AE souvenir window before. If you go into any character and get a souvenir without first opening the window during that session it will flush all the info. Even if you have done it for that character previously many times before and its the only one you ever use.
Worse then I originally thought.

Now that fits...and sucks.
But thanks for the testing.
Dec out.
Heh, just trying to help others avoid frustation and loss. And keep from experiencing myself again.

What I hate is the souvenir's are applied globally. I wouldmuch rather the souvenirs appear on teh character that actualyl earned htem. That way I can open up that page and get a sense of what that character has done.
qr - is this working as intended? If so, it's RUBBISH. The souvenirs are one if the things I love about CoH.

I seriously doubt it. Just sounds like another bug to fix.
Dec out.
this is indeed disturbing...
I have only played 'any' MA missions on my main, Asri, and they still vanish.
I've also noticed they like to give you doubles of the souvenirs...not that it helps keep them from disappearing any....
Server: Guardian Globial: @Asri1
Asri - lv 50 MA/Regen/Darkness Scrapper, Incarnate, Badge toon.
Tiny Spider - lv 37 SoA, Crab
Street Cleaner - lv 30 Staff/Willpower Scrapper
Golden Moonlight - lv 11 Beast/Storm Control Mastermind
I had all my AE souvenirs vanish. I suspect it was when I finally got around to doing the initial intro mission in Mercy (I hadn't done it yet, and wanted to clear off the contact). Anybody else experienced something like that?
At least a few I really liked the souvenir, but hated the mission, so I'm not getting those back.
