GNOME started dying in weird and spectacular ways as dpkg did it's thing behind the scenes (not entirely unexpected, but interesting none the less).
The debian release notes do explicitly say NOT to do a dist upgrade while running X. You got what you deserved I guess.

In that case, regular users, of the sort Canonical are targetting, should not put in a CD and perform an upgrade. I raised a bug to that effect (notify the user when Synaptic dist-upgrades that it could wreck things) and they will look at it for Breezy+1, but can't fix it now due to being in a string freeze.
