3.2.8 install breaks guest media

[shawbelaire]

Installed 3.2.8 and could not start an xp guest


Failed to open a session for the virtual machine MyXP.
Medium type of '/Users/shawbelaire/Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks/{809e28db-1f4f-45d4-b22d-a1bb3c546440}.vmdk' is differencing but it is not associated with any parent medium in the media registry ('/Users/shawbelaire/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml').

timemachined back to yesterday and the guest works, upgraded again and had the same issue

Thoughts?
