If I recall correctly, adding a dataset to a plot performs only a shallow
copy, so it's up to the application to ensure that the plot data persists
as long as it's needed.   Given the non-determinism of the disappearing
(i.e. sometimes, but not always) this may be a place to start looking
for the problem ... e.g., are you accidently freeing the first dataset
somewhere?
