It was necessary to change the path configuration data in 2.0.4 to fix some evil bugs and to make features relying on path settings extendable by packages. As a side effect it seems that you can't use 2.0.4 and older 2.x versions together with the same user data. If you still want to keep both versions together you must redirect one of them to a different profile by editing the bootstraprc file.
