Jack,

In answer to your questions.

does KMM complain about anything related to the merged payees or the
missing transactions?
        No, there is not any indication of a problem.

Can you find any of the missing transactions by looking
in the ledger for the relevant account and date?
        No, I have looked in the ledgers that should contain the entries and
they are all gone.

Have you ever saved the file (to a new name so you
don't overwrite your good backup) and then opened it again?

        Yes, and the entries are still gone.

Can you save an anonymized version of the file?

        I don't see a way to do that, so you would need to give me
instructions.
