I don't know what would cause it to do only that. And I know how you feel, my mom's phone messed up back in 2005 when I had my extensive brain surgery, and all the pics were trapped in that phone, and till this day they still are and can't be taken off the memory and won't turn on.

So I know your fury, but I hope it was a one time thing...

So these files can't even be seen when you have your sd card mounted as a disk drive? You go to your DCIM folder, and your pics aren't in there? I have seen people report of there being a ".nomedia" file being put in certain folders, by certain apps. When there is a .nomedia file in a folder, the gallery won't scan that folder for pics, and they won't be visible in your gallery. Are you sure that something like this didnt happen? I've seen that certain music players can put these .nomedia files in certain folders. For what reason, I'm not sure.

Or is it far worse than that, and all of your folders are actually 100% missing from the card all together?

Well that's odd, and I have no idea what would cause that? I usually copy the contents of my sd card to my computer every couple of weeks, and then just delete the prior one. Just in case I were to ever lose my phone, or if the card went south, like yours did. So I always have a relatively up to date copy of my sd card on my pc.

And you're talking about your signature? How it's showing that you have a Desire HD? That's funny, are you on a port at the moment?
