Typo 4.1.1 Sidebar is busted

I've been chronicling my mid-adventures in trying to edit my Sidebar (the column you see to the right of this text) over at the Typo Forums for posterity's sake. It would seem that any "stable" release would not have this issue. I'm beginning to think that there's some sort of hidden gem version number dependency that no one mentioned on Typo's site. In the end, it is perfectly possible to hand edit the MySQL data to add back my Sidebar items.

Update: I've found that I can get to a semi-stable point by doing the following:
cd $YOUR_TYPO_DIR
rake -f Rakefile sweep_cache
rake -f Rakefile tmp:clear
killall -USR1 /usr/bin/ruby1.8
killall -USR1 /usr/bin/ruby
Then goto your admin/sidebar interface and add/delete/modify your entry. Hit "Publish" and it should work. However, if you change something and hit it again, it will fail. You'll have to reload the page so that the "Changes Published" (i.e. the flash) is empty.
