I have checked some of the pictures with exiftool and all exif
metadata is gone except some like Copyright and other stuff from
Templates.

I haven't seen any pattern why some has lost metadata while some still
have it. One thing though is that it looks like pictures from Digikam
2 beta 5 has also lost exif metadata while beta 6 is OK.
