Turns out that this is easy for me to reproduce on Windows 7 with LO3.5.4. using .docx format and autosave (Save AutoRecovery Information Every) turned on. Both docx and autosave are key aspects.
Here are my approximate steps. 1-opened LO and made sure autosave was on, and it is by default 2-changed autosave to 1 minutes (as noted in other comments) although it doesn't work at other intervals either. I figured it would be more likely to have problems if it autosaved more often 3-started new file and saved as docx 4-Added some text and formatting and a few images here and there, while waiting a few minutes between. Also clicked the save button once or twice to save the file between waits and adding images. 5-After about 10 minutes and minimal additions, I saved the file, close it, and closed LO. 6-Re-opened the file in LO and the first image I added was read-error. The other images were present, but some in slightly wrong places.

After some modifications brought to this file, I noticed some images had disappeared, but not all images, and an error message was displayed in a frame of the size of the disappeared image indicating a read error. Then, I don't saved it to keep my file in its last correct state, and I made a copy of this file and opened it in parallel. And at this time the images reappeared in my first modified file. So, I saved it and closed. After reopening, all images which had disappeared were not present (not an empty frame, but totally removed this time). After, I opened a new copy of my file and I insert a space and remove it in order to have "save" button enabled and my file not modified, and then I saved it. I wondered why the size increased from 155566 bytes to 159378 with exactly the same content, maybe a new version of ODF used in OOo 2.3 as this file was created with OOo 2.0 and last modified on 2.1??? I have redone the same modifications and this time there was no problem. I noticed that when I had finished to redo the same modifications, automatic saving was triggered, that I didn't see the first time. I say that as this is may be linked to this problem, and the images in the first time disappeared after a duration of the same order, but this is only an hypothesis and I'm not sure at all of that (I will try to made some new tests). I condider this as critical as it leads to a content loss.
