Thinking some more about this, I think there's a likely simple explanation. Photos stores images in an opaque hierarchy of folders. I recall in the days of iPhoto that during upgrades it would scan the iPhoto Library and sometimes discover lost images and add them back into the index (database).

I suspect the same has happened here — the entry of the image in the database was removed, but the image in local storage was accidentally left on local disk.

I would think if it were "local storage" corruption, Apple would emphasize that and dispel any questions or concerns whether they might be maintaining deleted files on Apple servers.  Instead it was a vague "database corruption" which implies it was not local.

With Apple as great as they are about explaining things, especially involving potentially bad looks, if the photos were stored locally they would have said so, correct?

I feel they just kept the release notes simple (as Apple do). I have experience of corrupted iPhoto databases, which influences my view. But I see the voting; so I realise I'm in the minority on this idea.
