No I didn't save the document elsewhere. That would have required me to 
do a File | Save As while I just hit the save button on the toolbar. As 
I mentioned earlier, I even closed Scribus a few times during the day 
and re-opened the document - which I do by clicking on it in Dolphin 
(perhaps I should have mentioned that I'm using Plasma 5 desktop). The 
file itself is in a folder on a network share (NFS).

As for repeating the experiment, I hope to never repeat it again. I have 
no idea why the file wasn't saving and don't really have the time right 
now to try to recreate the problem even if I had a clue as to how to do it.

I can tell you I had been using systemd-networkd for networking earlier 
but had switched back to Network Manager because networkd seems to be 
not ready for prime time. My Network Manager setup is simply Auto 
Ethernet, which lets the Manager figure everything out. I do recall 
rebooting after making the switch to ensure that things were setup properly.
