Yes, lots of people do report problems like yours, not just since July
9th, but for the entire history of gmail. But I don't have any reason
to doubt google if they say that they have logs showing the mail was
manually deleted.

If you didn't delete it, this is probably an indication that your
account has been compromised (perhaps you responded to a phishing
email and gave up your password, or perhaps you have spyware installed
on your computer that steals your password). Gmail has some advice on
the subject here:

Unfortunately, it seems like many people have their accounts
compromised (resulting in many reports like yours). This could be a
problem with gmail, but it is much more likely it is just an
indication of the overall poor security of internet users. (I don't
mean to blame you -- there is a serious problem on the internet of
devious people trying to steal passwords, and it's hard to avoid
falling in the trap.)
