Bitcoin: any data on the number of transactions REVERSED?

I am learning a few details the "double-spending problem" and it seems that Bitcoin is not really that protected from them.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Irreversible_Transactions

My question is whether there are an stats which track the number of Bitcoin transactions that have been reversed by the Bitcoin not actually being on the account of the spender? Or is this a failure that can not be tracked, due to Bitcoin's lack of centralization?

If you have this statistic, it would be great to see any competing currencies to see if they have a different failure rate...

Ok, I guess I am referring to a buyer of BitCoin that a find out the transaction failed to get an update in the blockchain. This must happen since there is cause for concern over the double-spend problem.

So, I mean the transactions which seemed to be successful on the client application, that got reversed by a failed update to the blockchain.
thanks
