Another idea for Yet another Freeciv Feature comes to mind:

The server could buffer the chat messages for let's say three
turns, when a client disconnects, and send the (otherwise) lost
messages to the client when it reconnects.

So you will miss less when this happens, and also will know the 
reason for the disconnect.
