6 years ago ~~This appears to be caused by TRI 2039 on LOD0 reusing the same vertex 3 times; but it's like that in the file itself.
Since it seems to be an with Wraith, I've reported it to @dtzxporter.~~
While there does appear to be an issue with Wraith and malformed tris, it doesn't appear to be the cause of this particular missing tri. I have, however, determined that the tri that is missing consists of the following vertices:
- VERT 1675
- VERT 121 (or) VERT 1673
- VERT 124 (or) VERT 1674
Update: I just noticed that the tri immediately following the malformed tri appears to be the one that is missing. I can confirm that this issue is rooted in Blender-CoD as this issue is not present in PyCoD.

.XMODEL_EXPORTs imported into Blender will sometimes (though consistently) have 1 triangle missing anywhere on the model. Here is an example on the zombie_vending_revive_on model, ripped with Wraith. A triangle is missing on the logo, a similar triangle is missing in the LODs.
zombie_vending_sleight_on also suffers from this, but on the glass materials.
Another example I remember is the viewmodel_pow_arms (?), a triangle is missing on the top of the right sleeve.
How to verify for yourself: Rip the zombie_vending_revive_on model with Wraith on any zombie map, and open the resulting .XMODEL_EXPORT in Blender. The missing triangle should occur again in the same place.
