I am asking the version of package *unison* which is installed on your system. Sorry. I don't have unison installed. Only unison-gtk, unison-2.48 and unison-2.48-gtk version for unison-gtk is 2.48.4+3 and for both unison-2.48 and unison-2.48-gtk is 2.48.4-7

I guess I had it at some time, but now it's 2.48.4-7, for which the bug appeared to me.

Connection was lost right after I give my password. Launching unison from a shell, I could see that it was looking for a file, unison, that could not be found. I found out that it came from the fact that a link /usr/etc/alternatives/unison (where /usr/bin/unison points to) was pointing on an invalid file, /usr/bin/unison-latest-stable-gtk, that does not exist. In my case I had to change that link to point on /usr/bin/unison-gtk I suspect you have unison-gtk 2.48.4-4 (or earlier) installed. Can you confirm that? I would fix that by adding "Breaks: unison (<< 2.48.4-5~)" to unison-2.48 and similarly to unison-2.48-gtk. Cheers,
