We've seen the impact of this issue in two different scenarios:
An OmegaT project where auto-propagation is disabled, which means that all translations are ICE (or alternative) translations, bound to the segment ID. If the Okapi filter version used to produce the translations and their segment IDs is different from the Okapi filter version used by other people working on the same project later on (a reviser, the project manager, etc) or some programmatic solution, then all the translations will be missing. The problem in this case can be noticed and resolved by harmonizing the Okapi filter versions for all users (which is annoying but feasible).
An OmegaT project where auto-propagation is enabled (far more common than the situation above), where alternative/ICE translations are normally created only when a default translation is not a good fit for a certain context. When the problem happens because two users have different versions of the Okapi filter, the match of ICE/alternative translations will be broken and those translations will not be used, however most likely a default translation exists and (since it matches based on source text only and not on ID) will used instead without anyone noticing (which is very DANGEROUS).
