'Zebra' shouldn't be use on the primary tag 'crossing'
crossing_ref was created for use within the UK because many parts of the
rest of the world didn't understand what was meant by 'zebra'. It is,
after all, a nickname:

I thought the correct tag for this was crossing_ref. Have you
cross checked to see if they've been swapped instead of removed?
crossing_ref is a different kind of beast, as some people use it to
tell whether there are zebra markings (can also apply to traffic light
controlled crossings).
Frankly, I do not like the tag for zebra crossings, because this
approach requires me to set 3 tags (one of crossing=zebra / marked /
uncontrolled(?) +, crossing_ref=zebra + highway=crossing, on every
zebra crossing while I could use 2 and be done (highway=crossing with
crossing=zebra).
