Oh, ick. :( Does this mean that everyone is going to have to recreate
their Eclipse customisations, self-installed plugins, etc? Or is there
some less-intrusive way of fixing up the configuration than moving
.eclipse totally out of the way (e.g., editing a single file under
.eclipse or something)?

Glad to hear it's a known issue at least, though.
