The home of the user sogo has changed, as he no longer is a normal user,
but a service user.
So you have to restore the GNUStep directory at his new home (check
/etc/passwd).
That's all, because the GNUStep defaults are still used, additionally to
sogo.conf.
But you can convert them afterwards to the new sogo.conf with
/usr/sbin/sogo-tool dump-defaults >sogo.conf

It's the same as the GNUStep defauls, they have moved to the new home of
user sogo too.

This will be improved on the next version, just wait and see.

See above.
