Comment(by Zack):

 I had to redownload the 575 image, as the first one got corrupted somehow.

 I upgraded without backing up as you instructed. I switched to the console
 to enable wpa-supplicant logging. Then I waited for the XO to connect to
 the mesh; since it does it automatically, I figured it'd be best to not
 interrupt it, possibly causing more confusion. I clicked on the AP, then I
 entered the password, and it began connecting. I left it alone for a few
 minutes. When I came back, it was connected to the mesh again. Inspecting
 the logs revealed that DHCP had timed out on the WPA2 connection, but the
 wpa-supplicant log seemed to show that authentication had succeeded.
 However, it was dropped right away - "Michael MIC failure detected"
 messages are followed by a "TKIP countermeasures started" message, and a
 "State: COMPLETED -> DISCONNECTED" message immediately after that.

 I decided to try again. I clicked on the AP, and was prompted for the
 password again - which I entered. This time, when I came back, sugar
 thought it was connected - i.e. blinking white outer circle. The logs
 indicated that DHCP *succeeded*, but the wpa-supplicant log contain the
 same messages described above. 'iwconfig eth0' now shows 'Encryption key:
 off'. 'ifconfig eth0' shows the IP address that the AP would have given
 the XO. So it does succeed, but dies right away.

 I will post the /var/log/messages and /var/log/wpa-supplicant that show
 both attempts.
