I used the move feature to move several terms to a not yet created term, which never appeared, causing the terms in question to disappear. It seems like they now belong to some invisible/nonexistent parent term that won't display in Taxonomy Manager and in other hierarchical taxonomy display lists, like the ones created by the vocabindex and taxonomy_menu modules. I can see the terms in the normal taxonomy.module UI, but they appear to not have a parent and I do not know how to bring them back to the top level of the hierarchy.

I am having to use the taxonomy.module UI to one-by-one assign the invisible terms to the proper parent because they are now invisible to Taxonomy Manager as a result of this problem. Please let me know if you can think of a quick fix. Thanks!

OK, I'm about halfway through, so no need to explain anything. It seems like this module needs to check whether you are moving terms to a nonexistent term or check if there are any child terms assigned to a nonexistent parent and display them with a placeholder that says "nonexistent parent" or something. This is quite a set back. You should be able to reproduce the bug by following my steps in my first post.

this problem might be related to a inconsistent hierarchy (#482304: Circular hierarchical taxonomies are bad), I can't reproduce your problems with a clean taxonomy.
does this problem still exist?
