When someone signs up as a volunteer, my code actually does a node load, changes values as needed, and then does a node save forcing a new revision of the node.
So, it looks like problem is that node_privacy_byrole is broken since it assumes that all node_save() operations happen as a result of a form submission. One possible fix (I don't know if this would solve it) would be to implement the 'load' op in hook_nodeapi to make sure the necessary fields are always present.
Also, there is some pretty ugly code in this module- looks like it never got a thorough upgrade to 4.7, and doesn't look like it's getting much love in the issue queue http://drupal.org/project/issues/node_privacy_byrole, and no recent commits: http://drupal.org/project/cvs/11598.
