If you follow the links a bunch of people have reported it. Probably not widespread as people don't use guest accounts that often (but that's no excuse to leave a data-loss bug, that can result from simply using an advertise featured, in the OS for a month).

Since the departure of Avi Tevanian, Apple has had the worst software QA in the industry. But this is something that even they shouldn't have missed. It is probably down to some other app or extension that has fouled things up. It doesn't appear to affect all 10.6 machines that are out there (assuming that the users are telling the truth).

 

Again, the lesson is to back up your stuff regularly (no matter what the platform), but don't use an Apple Time Capsule that's more than eighteen months old.

This is a feature, not a bug (at least that what my mate said - and he should know - he has a whole bunch of Mac computers).

No, I think your mate thinks the feature is: logging out of a guest account clears the guest account.. seems somewhat reasonable, but still potentially wtf for people..

 

Reality: logging into the guest account, clears data from a real account.

I'm tempted to try this just to see the bug in action, heh.

It might not affect all machines.

Normal stuff. My boss upgraded to Lepord and all accounts (including the core admin account) are gone, and he forced me to fix it. And I was stucked on the phone for hours waiting in the queue when in reality, they are already left the office. And then send it to genious bar and back did nothing because they want to charge $$$ replacing a loose graphics card instead of fixing the real problem. Sigh, I don't care about people using Apple, but I so hate them to tell me to fix it for them. Leave me alone.

Turns out the data wasn't wiped, just the connection between the account and the user folder, so people can recover it if it goes wrong.
