Extract By Mask emptied my attribute table

I've been trying to automate the process of clipping thematic rasters to the same extent and then subdividing them by polygon. However, there have been a lot of errors along the way. Here's the latest:

Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 85, in <module> File "<string>", line 44, in clip_to_shape File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\sa\Functions.py", line 7030, in ExtractByMask in_mask_data) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\sa\Utils.py", line 47, in swapper result = wrapper(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\sa\Functions.py", line 7026, in Wrapper out_raster) File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 498, in <lambda> return lambda *args: val(*gp_fixargs(args, True)) ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function. The table was not found. The table was not found. [VAT_times_ras1] Table attachments not supported in this release of the Geodatabase. The table was not found.

[VAT_Extract_tim11] The operation was attempted on an empty geometry. Failed to execute (ExtractByMask).

This occurs at the beginning of the 2nd iteration of the for loop. Examination of the data layers shows that the attribute tables of masked_themes are being emptied by the 1st iteration, for an unknown reason. (The headers are still there.)
