Short description of error
The error I encountered occurred while I was creating a low-poly model of a hammer. I am completely new to blender. I selected and moved the light element thinking it would give me some more visibility in the area I was working in, and, seeing that this did not work, I pressed ctrl z and all of a sudden my entire model that I spent hours on was reverted back to its square one original state. After checking the autosaves, I noticed that there were no autosaves that contained the progress of the model I created. The model also would not re-appear after pressing ctrl y (as ctrl Y does not add back things reverted with ctrl z in blender for some inexplicable reason), and I was incredibly angered and depressed by this complete waste of my time and effort.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Here is the reverted, extremely basic version of what I was working on: untitled.blend
I don't know exactly how/why the error happened, however deselecting what I was working on, then selecting the Lamp, moving the lamp, then pressing ctrl-z completely reverted my model. I am extraordinarily furious with this error. Please fix this as soon as possible.

Well, sorry about your loss of work - but that’s just teaching you two important lessons:

Always manually often save your work (like every minutes or so). Always.
Read the manual when you have a problem - you would have then learned that Blender uses the 'shift-cltr-Z' convention for redo, not the 'ctrl-Y' one…

In any case no bug at all here.
