I really don't think this is a grave bug. Enigmail works fine with
gnupg 1.4.1. If you leave something as complex as thunderbird
running while you upgrade the software, you are asking for trouble.

Anyway, 

< vorlon> of course it's grave, no software should be corrupting
your data just because it's open at the time of upgrade.
"complexity" is no excuse.

the bug does mention that ~/.gnupg had to be removed. After the
upgrade, were you unable to use gpg as well? Were you able to use
enigmail after killing thunderbird and removing the lock file.

Or, put differently: are we actually dealing with data corruption
here? Could you please give some more information about the
~/.gnupg directory after the upgrade? Or is this all really a matter
of inconvenience?

Please be more verbose in your bug reports.
