Ouch.
A way to help prevent that, if I may offer it, is that as long as it's in your Armory Inventory (as opposed to your normal bags) and part of a saved set... items that make up said set will have a little page icon in the bottom... right? of their slot. This shows that its part of a saved set. Making sure that little page is gone before converting or desynthing an item will make sure that you're not getting rid of anything you use.
I've been trying to get materia "naturally" as I level classes, so I will often convert anything after it gets replaced (and is 100%, of course). This also means I'll spam the "update this set" button after changing the loadout to make sure that said item I'm about to destroy isn't part of another set. Because I've had a similar situation happen before myself - albeit it was just a couple accessory items for my CNJ, but still...
Not fun.
