Actually I tested this further after upgrading to 4.6.10.1 today.
I’m back to handling my event url update like this. It won’t delete the date on the event but I still lost venue and organizer so I need to pass those in on the update.

$url = tribe_get_event_website_url($eventId);
            $post_url = get_the_permalink($post->ID);
            if (! isset($url) || $post_url != $url) {
                $venue_id = tribe_get_venue_id($eventId);
                $organizer_id = tribe_get_organizer_id($eventId);
                $rc = tribe_update_event($eventId, 
                    array("EventURL" => $post_url,
                        "Venue" => array("VenueID" => $venue_id),
                        "Organizer" => array("OrganizerID" => $organizer_id))
                    );
            }

So I’ve been backed down to the version 4.5.12.3 for a few weeks now because none of the release notes have mentioned anyone looking at this bug. I figured it would be a big deal that an API call deletes the dates of an event entry considering that’s the key feature of the software. Are there no plans to fix this API call?

Since 4.2.4 didn’t fix the problem, I added a workaround. I don’t consider this a fix, because I don’t think updating an event without attaching the linked venues or organizations should be considered an update to the event to remove the venues or organizations. Basically I’m fetching the venue and organizer and passing them in again on the update to re-add the linked posts. Now my venue and organizers don’t disappear. Hopefully this will be useful to someone.

$venue = tribe_get_venue_id($eventId);
$organizers = tribe_get_organizer_ids($eventId);
$record = array (
		'EventURL' => array (get_the_permalink ( $post->ID ),
				),
		'Venue' => array ('VenueID' => array($venue)
				),
		'Organizer' => array('OrganizerID' => $organizers
				)
		);
$rc = tribe_update_event ( $eventId, $record );
