The key thing to realize is that the symlinks used by git-annex are checked into git like any other file would be. So you can use the entire git toolkit to manage them.
For example, you could run git status to see if git shows them as recently deleted, and then use git checkout $file to restore the deleted files.
Or perhaps the deletion has been committed to git, and then you'd use git log --stat to find the commit that deleted your files, and git revert could be used to undo it.
(git annex fix is not related to this and won't help.)

That did the trick.
Thanks Joey, for the answer and the magnificence that is git-annex.
