Yeah, I've also heard that using 1019 cards on Wii can be bad, the theory was that somehow the Wii would overheat the cards or something and destroy them... but mine was in a Gamecube and had only ever been in a Gamecube, so that wasn't the problem. Somehow when it was trying to save it instead ruined the filesystem in the card or something or broke the boot sector or who knows what... but yeah, it was awful. My only save files that survived were the ones on my 251. (I've since bought another 251 and use those two, but that's not enough space, I need to find more... the 1019 was so great, you could fit everything on one card. It's really too bad that they're evidently quite unreliable. :()
I mean, I'd had that card for years, it's very odd that it just randomly broke one day... and it was with a game that I'd just bought, so I have wondered whether somehow the problem was with the game too, and not just the certainly questionably made 1019s (considering everything I've heard about them and Wiis in particular).
Your problem is even stranger than mine though, mine was straightforward -- the card stopped working, couldn't be accessed, and stayed that way. Nothing on the card could be accessed.
I have had files corrupt before (once my GC SpyHunter file corrupted and I had to delete it and start the game over), and I've had N64 cards corrupt (the result is usually losing about a third of the files on the card, unless it's a battery problem in which case you lose all of them and don't expect them to last too long if you recreate them either), so those are perhaps somewhat comparable, but nothing exactly like what you describe.
