Arbitrary formations of blocks have been disappearing from my world seemingly at random. This isn't related to the issue of entire chunks despawning; it seems to be isolated to one or two dozen blocks. The nighttime screenshot shows the damage; the daytime screenshot shows the same area from a backup world. The only change I intentionally made to the affected area was the lightning rod.
-Issue seems to happen both to blocks I've placed and naturally generated blocks
-I don't think it's Creepers; the surrounding dirt has not been damaged at all in the screenshots
-I don't think it's lightning; I'm 99% sure no thunderstorms occurred between when I placed the rod and when I noticed the damage.
-I don't think it's Endermen; I've seen blocks disappear from areas Endermen can't reach (i.e. the ceiling of a room)
-I believe (but haven't confirmed) the disappearing blocks are dropped, and can be picked up again, but they usually despawn before I notice the damage
-My world is rather large, about 1GB in file size. The affected area is close to the origin.
-My world was created before version 1.4

Most likely those wood blocks caught on fire when lightning struck and burned. Has this "disapearing blocks" ever occured on non-flameable blocks?

Yes, I have had several dirt blocks disappear out of the side of a hill on another occasion.
