And the directory hasn't (yet) been recreated, hmm.
Good catch. Maybe I should wipe out per-user generated fmt files on upgrade in this directory if it is caused by this. The previous problem with fmt files was triggered by %post/%postun scriptlets but it doesn't happen on my machine any more. The scriptlets should work as expected at least half a year now. Is there anyone else who fixed this problem by renaming ~/.texlive2012 directory or removing fmt files from there?
