Upgrade to this version cased the following message in Messages buffer. If I ignor ethis and edit some of my files I cannot save them. Luckily, at least the temp file with filename starting with # exists. I have even done 'rm -rf ~/.emacs'!

This looks like an Emacs 21 startup sequence to me. What is the output of "eselect emacs list"?
$ eselect emacs list Available GNU Emacs symlink targets: [1] emacs-21 * [2] emacs-22 $ ;-)
OK, this fixed that for me: eselect emacs set 2 Don't know whether the handling of multiple emacs version could be improved. I have installed: app-editors/emacs selected: 21.4-r15 22.2-r1
> Don't know whether the handling of multiple emacs version could be improved. Well... Our decision was to keep the selected version and _not_ automatically update it to the newest one installed. Otherwise I'm sure users would complain about things like ~/.emacs files being incompatible between Emacs 21 and 22. It's difficult to make everybody happy. Closing as invalid.
