    Hard to say without seeing the code involved. It may be that on updates, the meta fields in submitted data are empty, thus overwriting existing meta with empty strings.

    Generally speaking, the save_post hook and related post meta don’t play well together. IMO you may be better off saving post meta separately, independent of save_post.

    If you decide to share the code that’s involved, if it’s more than a brief snippet, please post it off-forum somewhere like pastebin.com and just provide the link here.
