I haven't tracked down the exact mechanism yet but somehow the client gets confused and decides to make a new server-side page where one exists already. Some possibilities:

* something temporary went wrong server-side, client mis-interpreted the error code as 404
* some interaction with history: no smoking gun yet
* no server-side check for existing page when handling the create action

All these need some attention. I've been batch building sites and haven't lost any irreplaceable work yet, but it is only a matter of time unless all these possibilities are explored. (Add your own thought about power and responsibility.)
