This is really up to MSN and I don't know why they haven't fixed this years ago.
But it has been fixed 'ages' ago though (more like two wave versions ago IIRC). But of course, it is always possible that due to some new bug it has been broken again. Or because of some new incompatible 3rd party program, and/or router problem (both things which MS can't do much about it).
Also, because such lost messages are extremely user-dependant, it can not be bugfixed/tracked in general like other stuff. The problem is that nobody reports such problems to MS, instead everybody posts on random forums. But that is not going to get the attention of MS, nor is it going to fix anything. MS needs people who experience those kind of problems to help them tracking and fixing the problem.
So, sensibafflor, try to report this issue ASAP to Windows Live Support:
https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=wlmessenger&ct=eformts
If the above link brings you to https://help.live.com/ instead, then choose any topic > click on bottom right link "Get more help" > click on link "Get support"
Hopefully they can help you.
PS: try to not to cross-post (making same posts in multiple threads/different subforums). Instead simply bump your old thread if there wasn't any reaction.

Having a visible ACK or something wouldn't hurt though, I agree 100% with that. Of course there will always be the occasional guy/girl who has problems, but nevertheless, Messenger is actually very smart and powerful when it comes to finding a good connection and being reliable for message transmition.
