Hm. Of course it is possible that this is, at heart, a PEBKAC issue.
I will try to replicate my experience, perhaps I was too hasty in
jumping on the ML ...

I unfortunately was testing with copies of production user data and if
I did that my boss would literally eviscerate me; regardless I
unthinkingly deleted it upon seeing the error without considering its
significance. However, I will be testing it thoroughly with non-
production data and will send that if it happens again. I've tried the
replication another two times without problems so I really don't know
what's up.
Anyway, thanks for the clarifications - I had thought it shouldn't be
possible for that to happen, and everything you described was just as
I had thought/assumed! Perhaps I just got "lucky" : )
