Well you need to check the fcc setting: open a compose window, go to  
the display menu (or something approaching) and check fcc so it will  
display a FCC: field which should be filled with the name of a mailbox  
where to put the sent messages. If it is not set then you must set it  
to the mbox you want (it is weird though that Balsa silently changed  
this setting), if it is set to something you can check there (and in  
that case if you find nothing there then there is a real bug).
