Yes, all of the sites I'm tracking did this. One lost close to 85% of its links, most lost between 30 and 50%.

Try the "linkdomain:" query on Yahoo Australia [au.search.yahoo.com]. Do it like this:
| linkdomain:example.com -site:example.com |
|
Still showing less backlinks?

As Barry blogged at seroundtable; here's the reply from Hemant Minocha - Product Manager, Y! Site Explorer
"
We are working with the Microsoft team to ensure that webmasters can continue to use Yahoo! Site Explorer to view inlinks (a.k.a backlinks) to a given webpage or a website and to further be able to export them as CSV if desired. "

vanessa fox blogged about a "conversation with Yahoo" regarding this.
http://searchengineland.com/yahoo-site-explorer-whats-the-status-of-the-link-data-53551 [searchengineland.com]:
| “Yahoo! is investigating this report and will work to resolve it quickly if an issue is found, however it is unrelated to the longer term question we previously addressed regarding future support for backlinks.” |
