No, that's not what's being argued will happen.

I own the copyright on the song X.

Person A uses the song X in a fair use way.

Person B claims A is infringing.

Person A challenges and wins.

Then I lose my copyright, without any involvement?

Why would you lose your copyright in that case? Person B loses their (non-existent) copyright to the song. This would only fail if it'd be literally "all copyright on song X gets wiped, without looking at who owns it", which as you pointed out is obviously a non-workable interpretation of the proposal.

You are replying to the person who proposed the “lose copyright” idea.

That's exactly right. The person repeated the concept, in a comment dated later than the other replies to the original; I tried to clarify why it wouldn't work.
