Folks -

I think this is not a problem with the VM nor with the image.  There is no guarantee that the fully updated image can run the 3.1 updates from the beginning, since they essentially repeat the same updates, but under the wrong conditions.  As soon as I get a chance, I'll change the end-of-3.0 bumper file and make it smarter in this regard (should start at #3584 (yet to come)).
