Page is a not externally linkable

Last week, I updated another set of pages and resubmitted the sitemap. Last night, the main page I was concerned with (which was on the 1st page) is now gone. The latest crawl found some problems with URL case-sensitivity in the sitemap. I fixed those today, but could that have caused a ton of properly listed pages to drop? I may need to go back to my standard line of "I'll submit and do my best to optimize, but no promises, guarantees or refunds on SEO". Puzzled...
I'm seeing some dramatic drops over the last 2-3 days also. 2 weeks ago I updated page titles, keywords and some copy, then uploaded a sitemap. The pages I changed jumped up to the 1st page within a few days.
