The current MIGRATION.txt does not mention
all required changes to an old instance directory.
One problem were the missing INSTANCE_NAME and
EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION settings in instance_config.py,
but there are more.

These are changes between the 0.3.0 instancescripts
and the current onces (igoring instance_config.py):

The missing INSTANCE_NAME breaks cgi_client.py,
the additional parameter of sendmessage() the
mailgw.py. MIGRATION.txt should mention that it
is necessary to update the instance directory.
