There is obviously a bug with the registrymodifications.xcu that
should be fixed somehow.

I'd like to remind everybody that renaming the rm.xcu can lead to the loss of macros and other customization (color palette for example). So backing up the whole profile is the first and safest step in case of problem during upgrade.
Doing it before the upgrade insures that the downgrade (if needed) will be possible. It may not be the case if the new version wrecks some items.
