I have have had my content deleted from the app after I downloaded it and have re-downloaded after each time it was deleted. It seems to happen after leaving WiFi or leaving it for extended periods. I have looked around my iPod looking for the file containing the content (I am jailbroken) that I am downloading and have not found it. My annotations.sqlite file is there and my annotations have been intact the whole time, but the content itself is always missing.
iOS Version: 5.0
Model: MC540LL

How full is your device? I've seen reports that as of iOS 5, the device may clear out content if it starts to get full. Since this is all content that can be re-downloaded, then it would seem right that that's one of items that can be purged if a need for more space occurs.
I found a little bit about this feature here.

I think the first question is can you move it and still have the app find it?

A bit late to this thread, but it seems that Apple has a way around this:
UPDATE: In iOS 5.0.1, Apple has added a method for developers to mark files outside of Caches and tmp as “do not back up”. Presumably, once developers adopt this as necessary, this problem should be solved.
