Missing Israeli exit stamp
The last time I exited Israel was in 2012 (ie prior to the new arrangements) and no exit stamp was placed in my passport at TLV. There is an entry stamp in there however for that trip but nothing to show when I left. My other half never got an exit stamp either (I can't remember now if we went to the same passport booth or not).
Is this likely to cause any problems when we return in a couple of months?

Not sure how that relates to this thread. You don't pass through passport control when exiting the UK so there's no stamp to be had.

My passport, prior to the new system had accumulated 14 or 15 entry and another 14-15 exit stamps. They were all over the place and I am confident that no one looked to match entries with exits. Obviously you left--I would not be concerned in the least. ( you needed all the appropriate stamps/paper to get out of the immigration area into the departure hall.

The only countries who really check whether entries and exits match up are the countries of the stamps themselves. So every time I go to a Schengen country, I have an issue because I have an exit listed with no entry matching up to it (the stamp mostly faded). But they don't care about whether my Canadian stamps match up or not. Same with Israel. The only country that cares whether the Israeli stamps match up is Israel - and Israel knows they stopped giving stamps some time ago

Like above, I have israel stamps over 4 or 5 pages in my passport, they've never looked that closely.
When in 2012 did you enter -- if in the last 3 months there's nothing to say you didn't exit until January 2013 in any case
Are passports still stamped at land borders? I was stamped at Erez last year.
