Hi Bill,
Well I did figure something out. It will be in tonight's (Tuesday's) build.  
When you load in the bundle that's bad you should run the idv with the command 
line argument:
idv -Dcontrol.ignoreerrors=true

This causes the display controls to still kept around when they encounter an 
error but you just won't see them.  

Then, you will get your data error. Afterwards change the data source (right 
clicking on it and select "Change Data"). Then save the state off in a bundle. 
This should include the display controls that had encountered the original 
error.  Then reload the bundle and you should be seeing the new data with the 
original displays.

I know its a little tricky but, well, it is a little tricky :-)

-Jeff
