It's no great loss since I copied all those to an external drive as soon as they appeared there for that "some time in the future" when you can no longer download them. It's just strange that this new version would do that. Reminds me of the time that removing the trial version of X3 took out the My PSP Files folder in My Documents that had to be rebuilt from scratch.
I didn't put this in the bug reports because I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature.
