I have had the same thing happen... Now I backup my iDisk nightly. Have you checked your iDisk online to see if your info is there?
WOW! Data loss at the hands of MM...now THAT is unacceptable.
Sometimes I feel like MobileMe is a collection of unstable technologies all rolled into one premium package.

Make sure you use their online chat AND GET A CASE# then when you email it will be easier to follow-up. I did and finally got my case resolved after $40 days of being locked out of one of my sub-accounts.
This one sorta reminds me of (years ago) when my little brother was crying, he had a big lump on his head... My older brother (with hammer in hand) said " I didn't hit him in the head with a hammer"...
I'd like to know this. If Time Machine does back up iDisk, how do you access it through TM?
If you have "local iDisk" turned ON then the contents of your iDisk is saved on your Mac as a "Sparse Disk Image Bundle". It is found in your home / library / filesync folder and therefore time machine would be backing up your iDisk (though for most, not in a useable way)...
If you do not have "local iDisk turned on" then you are depending on Apple to keep your stuff safe...
There are workarounds... I use SuperDuper to backup my local iDisk to a partition of an external drive every night. This has saved me a number of times when iDisk goes haywire...
Hope this helps...

Is "local iDisk" turned ON the same as "iDisk Sync" turned ON (Update: Automatically) under MobileMe in System Pref?
Yes it is. When you "Start" or turn on local iDisk you are creating a local copy of your iDisk on your computer for use when you do not have an internet connection.
