Mass != Matter
Thus the law of conservation of mass does not imply that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Merely that the total amount of mass in a closed system is constant. If you go into creation or destruction of matter you get into the realm of relativity in which mass is a bit more complicated than in classical mechanics. (Wikipedia knows a bit about it...)
EDIT: Actually general relativity is a bit too complicated for my level of knowledge. I just know it's there...
