I can't think of a case when this would happen.

What evidence do you have that data is being dropped?

Can you hook up a siggen and feed a single sinusoid to the USRP rx
daughterboard?  Tune the USRP so that the sinusoid is not at DC in the
complex baseband, and log that data using your program and/or
usrp_rx_cfile.  Then use octave or some other tool to look for
discontinuities in the received signal.

This would allow you to confirm or refute the existence of the
discontinuity using a much less complicated detector than your GPS
receiver.
