Another one that comes up from time to time is when a recipe is intentionally never written down and the only person that knew it dies. Oysters Rockefeller suffers from this since Antoine died and the surviving chefs did their best to determine what went into it so the product they serve today is more of a tribute than the real thing. I would imagine customers who ate the original regularly did notice the differences... but they are all probably dead too so no one can say if it truly is wrong.
