If labs still use "dip & dunk" processing machines, it's possible you lose
the last frame because that film is puctured or otherwise mangled by the
weight that gets hung there.

before the winder stops (mostly #37) will _always_ look and sound like a
normal exposure (mirror, shutter), but it will not be on the negative (I
shoot on print film, so I'm sure the exposure wasn't made at all). So I just
try to look regularly at the counter, and if I'm shooting a static subject,
I'm redoing the picture on frame 0 of the next film.

Saturday (when I most recently noticed this to occur) and they assured me
that they mount every full frame exposure...
