Sims Talk: Issue with sim memories

I'm having a really weird game issue and it's driving me crazy. Ripp and Nervous were best friends, since they both rolled the want (I'm all about filling wants, within reason). After a couple of phone calls, they were all set. Then I just played along in their normal lives for a while, and they didn't see each other, since they don't exactly cross paths all that often. Soon, I get the message that Nervous has lost Ripp as a family friend, but retain they retain the BF sign, as usual. A couple of interactions should boost it back to friends, right? WRONG! They both lose best friend status instead.

( Here is a delightfully upbeat illustrated narrative of my irritating problem. )

This isn't such a big deal, since it's just a memory, but it's the principle of the thing that bugs me here. Does anyone know what might be going on? I searched around, but found no details on this specific occurrence.
