Yes, I do agree that relying on private APIs is dangerous and should be avoided for all the reasons you mention.
(The only reason I posted my findings is to save somebody the debugging time as it was not obvious what was the reason at first) This brings another related question. Is there a single place where we as developers can see what has changed between the public releases of the API's for example from RC30 => RC33? - (preferably both internal and external changes)? The only thing I could find is that RC33 has fixed several bugs and added several features, but nothing specific about what has changed and what bugs have been fixed.
