I've seen it too in both 1.8.x and G2. I don't remember the circumstances that caused it in 1.8, but I think it was a crash. The version of G2 I was using at the time I saw this was also crashing, so I sort of ignored it. IIRC, the invoices and payments lose their mapping to vendors. It shows up very obviously in the Payable Aging report. You get balances with a blank vendor column and incorrect totals for the associated vendors. i remember that I manually edited my file to fix the GUID's and it seems to me I had to follow quite a long chain to get it all patched up. Turns out its easier to just unpost, edit and repost the invoices and then delete and replicate the payments. ymmv. If you file the bug, I'll add my results as well.
