Ok.

Probably due to a bug. We've fixed quite some since 4.2 got released but 
individual workloads might of course trigger some we haven't experience yet.

The calendar entries should still end up in the file since it is their main 
storage location.
Not sure what would cause that to stop working, maybe Akonadi thinks that the 
resource is "offline" and therefore does not tell it about changes.
Can you check Systemsettings -> Advanced Tab -> Akonadi configuration and 
check if it has any other status then "Ready."?

Additionally it might be wise to follow Sergio's reocmmendation and create a 
backup by explcitly exporting the data from KOrganizer.

Cheers,
Kevin
