No - thats not the lesson (at least not the right one)... It looks 
like something in the "cruft" didn't want to be unpickled in the 
new installation (most likely due to a missing piece - a required 
product or base class needed by a piece of cruft didn't get moved 
to the new install). A Data.fs from an earlier version should 
always work with a later version so long as all add-ons are 
replicated in the new installation.
