Yes, it is. I might have considered it not-really-data-loss, if the behavior 
had only been specifically triggered by editing the message. But:

A) I definitely (just checked again) didn't need to press T (which is labeled 
in the menu as "Edit message"). On the other hand, double-click behaves as "T" 
for me in other folders as well. Is there a setting I messed up? I couldn't 
find anything looking relevant.

B) I expect behavior in sent-messages to be the same as, say, inbox, where the 
message, even if selected for editing, is not changed or removed, but a new 
copy of it is created and edited.

The message moving to the draft folder is already losing its sent status and 
sent date/time, and is highly likely to lose the message itself as well (if 
the user did not expect or notice that the draft takes the place of the old 
sent message).
