Why Would Google Webmaster Tools State More Links Than Details Show?
All these link reporting tools rely on crawlers unfortunately, none of which will perform the same as each other. Alan. You might want to use a couple of tools and work with the summary of their data. Also remember that the crawl freshness & accuracy will be different between different tools. It could be that the links existed and have since been deleted in their own site revamp. Especially run the same report through Bing's Webmaster Tools for a "second opinion". And btw, Google has been clear it looks down on sites that are charging to remove links. I seem to remember Google saying you could even report such sites. I'll see if I can find the confirmation of that.

Can you be penalized by a development server with duplicate content?
What kind of links they lost, what was that domain? If it was like 250 links form one domain for one month, Google could think that they were paid and that could get you penalty. Buying links is a risky business these days.
