Actually, I found that if I resync to another Electrum server, the transaction may not exist on the second server. In one case, the original transaction disappeared after a day when I resynced back to the original server. In any case, you can probably respend the coins, if you find that the transaction does not exist on the second server, but should be aware that one of those transactions, either the first or the second, will be a double spend.

That's correct.
Note that this issue is solved in 1.7.2, because it does not allow you to send a transaction without fee, when a fee is required by the Bitcoin network to propagate the transaction.
