Yes, there are known problems in transferring v4 credit to v5 (including that
one IIRC) and showing them on all the appropriate reports. They are being
worked on. They and other v5-associated problems have been reported to
mersenneforum.org, mainly (and preferably) in the threads titled "OFFICIAL
'SERVER PROBLEMS' THREAD", "Prime95 version 25.7" and "PrimeNet 5.0 Upgrade" in
the PrimeNet subforum. Those working on the migration and bug-fixing regularly
read all new posts in those threads.
There are also several other threads reporting and discussing particular
problems. (It would be easier for bug-fixing if they had been reported in one
of the three main thread I list above, but since those are crowded with
postings, it's understandable that folks start new threads.) A nonexhaustive
list: "v5 security problems", "v4_computer vs. Machine Name anomaly", "N/A in
my worktodo.txt file?", "Can I quickly unreserve & get my assignments back?",
"Prime95 v25.7 Invalid CPU type", for instance.
Some other problem report threads are in the mersenneforum.org Software
subforum: "Don't understand instructions for upgrading to v25", "v25.7 Destroys
PrimeNet v4 work-in-progress", "v25.7 linux: MaxLoad/MinLoad" for instance.

To all:
Let me once again stress that _the data is not lost_. It's on the (offline) v4
PrimeNet system, but not yet completely transferred to the online v5 system,
and so not yet completely accessible online. Please, _do not delete any of
your own save files or other records of past work because you despairingly (but
incorrectly) think your credits are gone_! It will take a while to get
everything working properly on v5, but there is no reason whatsoever to
conclude that any of your past work reported to v4 will not eventually show up
properly on v5.
