This is indeed a bug in Virtualmin 3.75, which will be fixed in the 3.76
release - in some rare cases, it can delete incorrect virtual file entries
when removing a domain.

You can also fix this by upgrading Webmin to version 1.500, which adds
protection against this bug (assuming you are using the Postfix mail server).
