Sold Buildings reverting to original owner

Description:
I sold 2 copper mines yesterday on Sabrada to another player and everything seemed ok for a while; the other player even invested 100s in one of the buildings. After a couple minutes, teh other player brought to my attention the fact that ownership had reverted back and my character was once again listed as the building owner.

I confirmed that I also saw the same behavior and decided to check the bank to see if the entire transaction was rolled back or if I had both the buildings and the cash. To my surprise, I discovered that he cash was indeed in my bank account. Somehow, I ended up with the cash and the buildings...

After I confirmed that I had the cash, I went ahead and sold the buildings a second time to the other person for 1s each and gave him back his 2s, so he ended up with the buildings afterall, so this deal worked out ok this time around. Guess he's lucky I was online and that I'm honest...

I believe this was related to the same problem that was causing lost buildings to remain in your 'owned' list - and therefore it should have been fixed in the public 0.49.6
