Well, officially downgrading isn't supported (although it typically works) *and* losing files is one of the problems of our merged-/usr solution (see [1]). I *suspect* this might be the cause. We're working hard (well, helmut is) to protect us and our users from loosing files on upgrades. We don't protect against downgrades.
Obviously there might be issues, but you are running unstable *during* a transition. You have to expect some troubles. Thanks for the information, let's see if this is a real issue or not.
