Hmm, my expectation is that had you truly mangled the remote copy, the desktop would not be able to publish, either.

If it does happen again, grabbing a copy of the repository copy and of the iPad copy would be a good step. You can grab the iPad copy via iTunes even if the app can't publish it.

I only recall losing data once during the beta, thanks to a bug where the document picker would open the document in the background, get confused, and save, causing my unsaved changes to be lost. That bug appears to be fixed.
