it appears that at least in 7.0.4.365(r14) the fig file is really a mat file with a structure in it that has the uicontrols and other info.  try copying it and rename to .mat and see if it will load.  not sure what you could fix if it won't load, but if it does maybe you could find a bad control or something and delete just that one to recover.
