Yesterday, I updated a ccc'd copy of Snow Leopard to Lion. I wanted to see what might happen before updating to my working disk. Interesting! Mail does not migrate until you first open Mail in Lion. The folder username/Library/Mail/ now contains two folders, "V2" and "Mail Lost+Found". Data that my Mail application stores in some alias files is in the folder "Mail Lost+Found" and I had to write a migrator script to move it into the "V2" folder. That's when I noticed something odd.
My alias files have a data record stored in the Finder comment that looks like this:
text1<tab>text2<tab>text3
After migrating Mail to Lion (but before running my migrator script), these alias files in "Mail Lost+Found" have a comment which now looks like:
<tab><tab>text3
(I also checked 'mdls -name kMDItemFinderComment ' and it has the same problem.)
I don't think this is a reportable bug, since Apple could claim that Mail is not intended to store these foreign files.
I'm curious if anyone has an explanation for this bug ?
