I don't know why the #+TBLFM line disappears: it does not in my case -
assuming that I've got org-collector loaded: since it's a contrib
package it's not loaded automatically for me and when I tried the
refresh before loading org-collector, *everything* disappeared: the
table and the formula. But once I got the package loaded correctly,
things worked as I described before: if only the formula is in there, it
gets wiped out, but if there is a table along with the formula, the
table gets refreshed and the formula is recalculated.

BTW, the formula is wrong: it should read

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TBLFM: @>$>=vmean(@I..II)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and that also assumes that you are running a very recent version of org,
one that recognizes @> and $>. But neither of these would explain why
the formula is wiped.

PS. I'm using Eric Schulte's standard example from the Worg site:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Example

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols (ITEM amount)

| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]"    |    30.67 |
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-09 Tue]" |    56.76 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
|                                  |          |

#+END:



#+BEGIN: propview :cols (ITEM (+ 400 amount)) :scope tree :match "example"
