Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
3D scene has an object, its location is driven by Color strip's Y offset (which is keyframed). At some point in time object appears in 3D scene, but not in Scene strip.
Open file - see no object in Scene strip
Go to 3D view and delete driver from plane, OR clear keyframes in Color strip -> Scene strip is working OK
