Bugged chunks with no blocks in them

In my world there are some chunks that are completely empty, down to the (missing) bedrock. We can build inside them, making bridges, but falling into them results in death ("Player has fallen outside the world" or something similar).
As visible in the screenshot water from adjacent chunks doesn't fall of, but if we place water near the border it does fall. 
On the map these chunk are shown as completely black.

I think the server may have shut down unexpectedly, possibly corrupting some files, but unfortunately i can't be 100% sure of what happened, since we found the problem exploring after the world was moved around.

If anyone has any idea how to fix those chunks (forcing them to be rebuilt?) it would be greatly appreciated.

If you exit the world, close your clent, restart the server and re-join the server with a fresh client does it work ?

Kind of... we kept playing on the world and while those chunks remain empty we never encountered the same problem again. As i said in the description i have the feeling this was caused by moving the world around on different machines and possibly corrupting some files.

Thanks for responding Luca.

As it stands, if the issue is no longer occurring and you're not sure what caused it, this might need to be submitted for closure. Without being able to reproduce a problem its very difficult if not impossible to resolve it, and if its not happened since you could very well be right in that, moving the files around corrupted or deleted some.

As for the query about rebuilding the chunks, unfortunately if that data is gone, there is nothing you can do. You could try loading the world in something like MCCToolchest and see what data it pulls for those chunks but thats outside the scope of the bugtracker (we have an amazing community - links below - that might be able to help though.

I sincerely hope you don't ever have to deal with something like this again, keeping regular backups can help ensure you lose far less progress when something like this happens (I back up almost daily.
