Comment(by mchua):

 The bug isn't that certain Activities didn't install during the upgrade
 (it did prompt me to reinstall Activities on first boot, but didn't
 download the core ones on the first pass - it did the second time I ran
 it).

 The bug I think exists (trying to reproduce now) is the doubling of the
 Journal entries for saved sessions that initially didn't have Activities
 to open them. After installing the correct Activity and then using that
 Activity to resume an old pre-update session, I'd expect the resumed
 session to appear in the Journal once with a timestamp reflecting that it
 had just been used, instead of  twice (once with a pre-update timestamp,
 once with a timestamp reflecting that it had just been used).

 In other words, in your Journal before resuming the Activity...

 * [generic-file-icon] my.savedsession.name ---- 4 hours ago

 In your Journal after resuming the Activity, what *should* happen, imo...

 * [Activity-icon] my.savedsession.name ---- Now

 Instead, what you get...

 * [Activity-icon] my.savedsession.name ---- Now
 * [generic-file-icon] my.savedsession.name ---- 4 hours ago
