Search through the svn logs for libHilbert, which we use to get

corrupted outputs in some cases.  IIRC we switched the renumbering off
to avoid triggering the bug, then switched it back on once the bug was
tracked down and fixed.  If you've got files that read fine with an
older libMesh version but get scrambled today, they were probably
written with libHilbert disabled.  If you've got files that don't read
fine with any libMesh version, you probably got hit by the bug...
although I think in this case the mesh doesn't read correctly either
so you're probably in the previous case.

Ok. Does knowing that it did work back in August guarantee that I
didn't get hit by the bug? =)

If you were able to load a mesh and solution in dbg mode without
triggering an assert failure (or if you know you were able to load
them in opt mode without inaccuracy) then you didn't get hit by the
bug.

I will try a few versions and see what happens.

Try configuring the svn head with --disable-libHilbert and see if
things read properly.
