I have also seen lost one-way calls without any reasonable
explanation.  I understand that they are not guaranteed, but using tcp
connection in local machine without any communication failures one
would assume that nothing gets lost.

I don't think that this is related to communication failure or lost
exceptions, because in my case no exceptions were raised, and there
were no communication failures.  Using normal calls everything works
as expected. The one-way calls are simply silently lost somewhere, not
very often (maybe 1 out of 50), but still.
