It is simply regarding disappearing accidentals. It happens (rarely) that a specific note is not shown with any accidental although it is there: it plays correctly, and when changing the note with +/- to lower or raise the note it really happens soundwise and again plays correctly but no accidental is shown at all. There is no difference between the score and the part - if the accidental disappears in the score is also gone in the part. The problem is minor (provided that you discover it before distributing the result!), it does not happen often and is simply solved by erasing a note and putting it back again. So therefore I haven't taken the time to ask about it.
If I recall correctly, I had a similar experience with an earlier version than 2007, perhaps 2002 or 2003, and finally determined that it was an unintended consequence of using the "9" key in speedy entry to hide an accidental. The forced display (or hiding) of an accidental might persist, even though the note were moved to another pitch, although the forced display was canceled if the note was deleted and re-entered. I never experienced the phenomenon in a later version, and since I'm at the moment away from my engraving computer, I don't have the means to check to see if my memory is accurate.
And it probably bears noting that while in many instance Finale makes it possible to achieve the same result in different ways, it might also be possible to have the same apparent "bug" from different ways, too.
