YES! Glad to see I'm not the only one. Yesterday I lost my Wolf Stringer and at first I wondered what could've happened, since I occasionally had lost a weapon before by accidentally throwing it away. Except normally I'd either find it back pretty easy with the little icon that pops up or if I didn't find it again right away I'd probably come across it some other day by coincidence. Except yesterday I couldn't have thrown it since you can't throw the bow's. So after searching for about half an hour and removing all grass and other thing from the surrounding area I finally gave up.
Today however, I was pretty much in the same area and I shot 2 aphid's with the unique staff Heatwave (since I didn't have my bow anymore). Upon looting I also pulled out my omnitool since I stood right next to a peace of grass. When I tried to back-up to adjust my position a little bit the omnitool got stuck in a loop and kept swinging at the grass even though I already backed up out of reach of the grass. Now I tried to equip the staff again, except the image in the circle was grayed out and when I checked my inventory it was gone. I was scratching my head and looked around again, cursing myself for throwing away another weapon (see staffs can be thrown). Since it was a unique weapon I am unable to craft another one, so I kept searching for over 3 in game days and nights and was determined to find it, but to no avail. After the 3rd day I finally gave up, marked the spot with a burial trail marker to never forget where I lost it.
Then I went here and to my surprise i saw your post. Yes this is what has to have happened to me to, because I was surprised that I couldn't find it anywhere, since it just happened. I guessed maybe it fell through the floor or something, but your description makes way more sense. Thanks for sharing and hopefully they fix this soon.
Thanks again!
Ps. Does anyone know if there is any way the devs would be able to return the weapon to me? Since it is a unique one and I can't craft it again in this save.
