Comment(by cscott):

 The link is misleading, because "how can I restore" links to reflash
 instructions.  Doing a clean reflash will clearly fix the su issue.  The
 "revert back" is only the use of the 'O' key to do an alternate boot into
 the old image.

 A user can also upgrade olpc-update before upgrading to avoid the problem,
 or use olpc-update 656 to revert; either of those will also avoid the
 problem.  The issue is *only* with the use of the 'O' key to fall back.
