Besides the rainbow issues, I think that the Datastore storage has
incompatible change.

When you upgrade, the new datastore upgrades to a new storage format.
When youdowngrade, the old datastore doesn't understand it so it moves
.sugar/default/datastore aside and begins from scratch.

This was discussed earlier in the list - look into .sugar/default for
"backup" datastore directories if this hits you.

cheers,
