As I didn't see a single follow-up response, chances are unlikely that anybody did. Else: It is pre-beta quality software. Everybody on list is aware of this. And even the tested / verified builds frequently contain numerous bugs. Sometimes more severe ones, in other cases less. Nobody can test it that well for every SXCE spin-up, to prevent this from happening, so I guess it is "ok". To emphazise that fact even further, I called it "inofficial non-announcement". However, thanks for the official clarification.
