I downloaded the 32-bit 11.10 ISO file on Super Bowl evening (2-3-2013) from:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/11.10/release/

I used the Live-CD to try and update from Mythbuntu 11.04 to 11.10.
(Booted from the CD, chose Install Mythbuntu, Chose Upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10)

The SAME THING that was reported on 4-30-2012 happened to me last night:

"What's happening is that the "Upgrade" the live CD offers doesn't
maintain the MySQL database or the recordings that are stored in the
default /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/mythtv."

That 11.10 32-bit ISO file was NEVER fixed.  
That ISO needs to be DELETED from the download folders and remade without this bug.

How many other versions have this bug??

Bug description:
  [Impact] Serious data loss when using the live CD upgrade option.
  [Test Case] Install 11.10.  Create some files under /var/lib/mysql/ and /var/lib/mythtv/ (doesn't matter exactly what).  Use the live CD upgrade option to upgrade to 12.04 using an in-place install.  Check that the files you created still exist.
  [Regression Potential] Limited to the upgrade option; this code is not used elsewhere.  If that option still works otherwise then it should be fine.

  Original report follows:

  When using the live cd to upgrade, it wipes /var/lib/mythtv/*
  (presumably /var/*) meaning you lose the database and the default
  storage group locations
