It gets recorded in Anvil just as it looks in Reaper with the missing tone in the same place.
I also tried to play the anvil midi file (in test2.zip) in anvil and record the output in Reaper. Then Reaper missed one tone, but not the same tone as last time! So maybe it's quite random which notes gets missed, as long as it isn't played in staccato when no notes seems to get missed.

Another off the wall thought: double check that your "Ticks per quarter note" is 960, in Preferences > Media > MIDI.

Here's somebody with the same problem in a different application, "solved" by replacing the MIDI Mate:
http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=121604 -- not helpful in figuring out the cause.
Does the MIDI mate device have any sync options that can be turned off via a hardware switch or a software control panel? Specifically, is it sending MTC or SMPTE? A possible explanation would be bad sync messages, which REAPER is trying to obey, but the other applications ignore. If the device does send sync, can you try turning it off?
In REAPER, if you right click the transport play button, is timecode sync enabled? If so, can you turn it off?

I have no options at all for the midi interface and no buttons either. And I have no sync things activated.
If it was the midi interface, then why would the following happen? The midi interface wasn't involved then.

Would you mind posting the result of playing back the Anvil file and recording it in REAPER?

Here:
http://boray.wontek.net/reaper3.zip
It's the recorded output from Anvil playing anvil2.mid from test2.zip. The midi mate interface was inactivated in both Reaper and Anvil during the test.

From this case then the MIDI Mate can be ruled out. How do you connect Anvil's MIDI output to Reaper's MIDI input?
Is this a pattern?
When the recording stops in Reaper, a note approximately 2 bars in front of the end of the clip is taken, moved to the end of the clip and shortened?
Perhaps you could try recording the following in Reaper:
a) a longer clip in Anvil
b) a sequence of C, D, E, C, D, E repeated in Anvil

With LoopBe1 internal midi interface. (Midi-Yoke type of program.)

No, when playing you can see the notes getting recorded, and when a note misses you can see that it doesn't get printed right away. Sometimes I think I even can see it riding at the very right of the clip but I'm not sure about that. Then when stopping the recording, the missing tone(s) are seen at the end.

Slightly confused ... Reaper does not display the MIDI notes while it is recording (AFAIK).

This was the clue! REAPER displays the MIDI notes during recording only in overdub or replace recording modes. I notice the OP's tracks are set to record "MIDI replace in existing items." Does the behavior change if you set this to simply "record input" ?
[edit] I think the problem is caused by the track recording setting "MIDI replace in existing items." This mode is meant for loop recording, where new notes will replace existing notes that were recorded in a previous pass, but only replace when new notes are actually being played. On the first pass (when there is no existing item yet), I think this mode is buggy. I'll let you know more when we figure out exactly what the source of the bug is. Thanks again for sticking with the problem!

would it help if the boray maybe posted a screenshot of what comes up in reaper's 'midi logger' plugin during recording? maybe there's something weird going on in there
edit: oops, too slow, ignore that

Absolutely last "clutching at straws" suggestions (for today):
a) make a back-up copy of your .ini files and let Reaper recreate them. They are in your AppData folder. You should be able to get to the folder from [Options] > select "Show Reaper resource path in Explorer/ Finder"
b) install v3.72 and try that version (you can install it over v3.73, then reinstall v3.73 later)

Hey! It seems to work perfectly now! At least for the 1:30 long test recording I just did.
Thank you very much!
So, do you need me to do any more tests, or can you reproduce the behavior yourself now?

We can reproduce, we'll fix it for the next release. Summarizing, the bug happens in "MIDI replace in existing items" record mode, on the first pass of loop recording, when there are no existing items on the track yet.

The replace-mode-record bug may be fixed in 3.74pre4, now available.

Phew! Once again, my confusion wins through
Well done Boray and schwa for sticking with it.
