This is a good time to bring up the fact that there is a "save" command.

But it's also a good time to speculate that characters usually get saved when they logout.

Rogues should still retain the ability to flee without losing XP. That ability has not been removed.

I'm not certain what to say about losing the level though. There are a couple of possible explanations that have already been covered, but don't appear to apply to your situation. You may have encountered a rare and unusual bug. Training a skill above your level is an interesting idea, and should be testable to see if it's true.

Did you reincarnate during any of your deaths?

No, someone raised me from the dead. I do think the first level I lost was a result of that. Lost a level from dying, didn't notice, trained in something too high for me and was drained even lower.

Still no clue what happened the second time though, but it's all good. I hit veteran again since my original post, and trained enhanced damage (again), and didn't have the same problem. So, who knows?

Raise dead takes XP.

I think what she is saying is the first time she lost a level was from raise dead, but it has happened twice. The second time, it seems to me like she logged in, and was jman 5, but had advanced to vet prior to logging out before. She said she didn't check score or anything so she probably went right to a trainer for enhanced damage, and wasted a whole level training it up which could have happened.

You can't be taken down a level for training skills, or I would have lost a few hundred levels. The only other option that I can think of is that she was fighting a necromancer NPC and was energy drained.

I stick with my theory. She could have logged out then the game did that crash shift, and everyone comes back ten minutes in the past.
