Your initial vote as the submitter didn't get registered. Several things happen when a story is submitted. I don't make them atomic because nothing serious breaks if they don't all happen. So if the thread spawned by the http request dies (because the server restarted, or it times out due to a spike in load), some may happen and not others.
