I observed the same behavior and unintentionally discovered a technique to avoid overwriting. I will play around to rediscover as I don't remember at the moment. It may have had to do with disabling the WYSIWYG editor... again not sure. I generally turn off web embedded WYSIWYG editors. The erratic behavior and burden on the client is too much to put up with.

the product description textarea name was product_description[1] or something like that. The code would not work with the 1 in there. As soon as I did some hardcoded changes to test it, I changed it to product_description (without the 1) and it worked similar to the orders page one. But I couldn't understand why it wouldnt work with the 1 in it. But I have been leaning to put that and other stuff into the admin area so I will keep on truckin.
Thanks for the report. If you come up with anything let us know and I'll do the same.
