    I came up with a patch for Apple Pascal 1.1 to fix this problem. 
Use a hex editor to search for hex string $A20C0709BA64C48DA1 in the
disk APPLE1:.  Change the $64 to $7F.

    Thanks to all who posted messages in this thread, especially John.
 John's initial response to my description of the disappearing file
problem inspired me to make images of disks and compare them.  When I
saw that the only difference between "good" and "bad" images was in
the date field, I had the clue I needed.
