Me neither. As you said, it's a conffile, so it gets special treatment from dpkg. But apart from that, it's a standard file contained in the package, it's not touched by the maintainer scripts and it hasn't changed for quite some time, IIRC. So I can't imagine how anything in the ol(v)wm packages could have caused it to disappear. Of course, if the whole system was in a strange state after a failed up/downgrade, basically everything might happen. But even then, dpkg is quite robust in my experience. So without a log of what exactly happened or a way to reproduce this, there's probably no point in investigating this further.
