What is the expected behaviour/value?

Loading old builds should keep the tree intact

What is the actual behaviour/value?

Loading an old build from 3.8 results in an empty tree and doesn't let me allocate new nodes

How to reproduce the issue

No response

Build code
See attached build, as exporting the build saves the empty tree.  Rename the file from `.zip` to `.xml`
Screenshots

STUNNYBUNNY.zip

Research direction

Load the attached STUNNYBUNNY.zip, renamed to .xml, in the current Path of Building app and compare the tree with the expected behavior. Trace handling of this 3.8 build and verify that the tree remains populated and new nodes can be allocated; add a regression check if the repository has coverage for this path.
