Does anyone see this getting any better. It is getting absolutely ridiculous and almost to the point where it looks like soon analytics will be pointless!

Can Rand pull some connects and tell Google - Hey Camon! This is ridiculous, we need to see at least a little bit more of these!

This article I thought was a little bit useful.  Just found it today when searching about the same problem.

I think it will only get worse before it gets better, with the recent combination of Google Place into Google+ and increasing G+ adoption in general.  We can hope the anti-trust regulations will eventually lead them to provide this data again.

In the meantime, you can get an idea of what some of the lost keywords are by paying attention to what landing pages they're landing on as well as seeing which keywords are getting high CTR in Google Webmaster Tools.
