Michael's -estsave- uses characteristics to 
store e(stuff). So this exception is no
exception to the comment about -save-, but
a work-around. 

e(sample) stays at least sometimes: 

. sysuse auto, clear 

. regress mpg weight if rep78 < . 

. count if e(sample) 
   69

. preserve 

. drop _all

. restore

. eret li

scalars:
                 e(N) =  69
              e(df_m) =  1
              e(df_r) =  67
                 e(F) =  123.808254590268
                e(r2) =  .6488621514626166
              e(rmse) =  3.502097049675242
               e(mss) =  1518.469087612675
               e(rss) =  821.7338109380502
              e(r2_a) =  .6436212880516109
                e(ll) =  -183.3739540339589
              e(ll_0) =  -219.4808398939586

macros:
             e(title) : "Linear regression"
            e(depvar) : "mpg"
               e(cmd) : "regress"
        e(properties) : "b V"
           e(predict) : "regres_p"
             e(model) : "ols"
         e(estat_cmd) : "regress_estat"

matrices:
                 e(b) :  1 x 2
                 e(V) :  2 x 2

functions:
            e(sample)   

. count if e(sample) 
   69
