As other(s) have mentioned, power failure, cat jumping on keyboard.  I have also had sends hang seemingly forever, and the only way forward is tokill the tmux session.  Then I have no Fcc copy.  I can root around /tmp to find the message, but I shouldn''t have to.

For me, the difference is that having extra Fcc copies is nowhere near as bad as not having any.

Another factor is that the Fcc is much less likely to fail than the send.

Perhaps a compromise is to Fcc as a draft file first, then send, then move the draft Fcc file to its permanent location.
