The issues werent caused by search changes from version 2.4 to 2.6.
We have already been running 2.6.x for a while. I just hadnt gotten round to
doing the "content" conversion yet.
The search indexes were already dropped and recreated back during the 2.4 to
2.6 conversion.

Those errors started appearing only during the running of the content
conversion script. I had gotten the impression it was a safe thing to do on
a live server. Maybe I was wrong. Given it took about 6 hours to run, doing
it with a live server is preferable. A 6 hour downtime wouldn't be popular
:-).
