There was a post last year about a blomery being "lost" when the blocks behind it were demolished.  This was put down to the bloomery block simply "pinging" out a long way from the original place, and was "fixed" in 0.78.16 according to the changelog:

• [*]"Bloomery doors should no longer go flying away when broken."
  

I just had a similar thing happen on a multi-player server running 0.78.17 with no other mods on the server.  I had already searched in the vicinity of the bloomery, even demolishinghalf of my smithy in the process, but could not find a "pinged" bloomery anywhere.  I had expected it to still be in place, or to have popped into my inventory, but that was not the case.

 

I think this is a significant issue - especially when you consider how much work and materials goes into making the darn thing!

If I try the same on a creative world, the bloomery doesn't pop.  Only when you actually destroy one of the blocks actually *touching*  the bloomery - which I hadn't done in MP.
And when it *does*  pop then it doesn't fly out.

I've dome a little more research and discovered the following:
I started a single player world, and then opened it to LAN , enabling cheats.
I then switched into creative mode and built a 2-high bloomery structure and put the bloomery "door" on.

 

I then switched back to survival mode and proceeded to demolish the middle of the bloomery

Looking from the top, using * for stone, O for air or the "chimney" where you put the ore, and B for the bloomery block:

 

Bottom layer:
O*O

O*O <-- I demolished this vertical "slice"

O*O

 

Middle layer:

O*O

*O* <-- I demolished this vertical "slice"

*B*
 

Top layer:

O*O

*O* <-- I demolished this vertical "slice"

***

 

After demolishing one side of the chimney, I could still see the bloomery doors (from the back). Then after demolishing one block on the other side, I watched the bloomery block simply disappear after a couple of seconds (sometines it was as long as 5 seconds).

This is completely repeatable - if you demolish three of the five blocks making up that slice then the bloomery block simply disappears before your eyes.

 

It doesn't "ping" out, it simply disappears.

I can verify this bug and refine it a bit. If you build a valid bloomery structure, place block and then destroy any of the needed blocks (besides the ones adjacent to the bloomery block) the bloomery block will vanish. It appears to vanish on a random update tick as it is variable when it will vanish, but it will always vanish. If the bloomery block is manually updated, trying to open or placing a block against it (clicking on another block to place) it will pop off and give the bloomery block back.
