I don't think there is any precedent. The rules say that fighters riding
in 
a fighter bay which is destroyed are "lost" (FT2 p.11) and imply that 
missile salvoes in a damaged magazine are also "lost", but there is
nothing 
about  but that's it :-/

The FT FAQ says:

"If a magazine for a salvo missile launcher is lost to a threshold test
and 
then subsequently repaired do you get the remaining missiles back?

Use the house rule that either all the missiles are lost or roll for
each 
salvo individually as a repair roll."

- but I don't remember if this came from Jon, or if it was the list 
consensus. Either way, the feeling at the time seems to have been that
you 
do NOT get the missiles back automatically when the magazine is repaired
:-/
