As Andrey said, known issue. More specifically:

Unfortunately the code was buggy for save and load. It might be possible to 
restore some connections by manually putting all the objects back to one 
layer, i.e. deleting all:

  </dia:layer>
  <dia:layer name="Lines" visible="true">

Please don't delete the first <dia:layer> and the last </dia:layer> because 
there must be at least one layer in the file.

But remember this is an experiment, it may not work at all.
