I had created softlink *in* /home/user/MyDocs/.documents, so in my case it was
   cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
   ln -s /media/mmc1/mmapper/Maps .

I had also removed all the pre-installed pdf files from 
/home/user/MyDocs/.documents (mainly User Guides), but I'm not sure if this
affected to problems.  So maybe add
   rm /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/*.pdf
   rm /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/*/*.pdf

Next step: Use Application Manager to try SSU upgrade to 4.2008.36-5
Result: No automatic reboot, no error messages
        Tabled seemed to be functional, but
        "Control-panel->about product" not increased
Next step: tried 
   Manual reboot
   apt-get upgrade
Result: Error from "pre-installed-documentation-rx44", something about
         "/usr/share/pre-installed/MyDocs/.documents/*"
Next step: tried
   touch /usr/share/pre-installed/MyDocs/.documents/foo
   apt-get upgrade
Result: Error from "pre-installed-documentation-rx44", *but* now complains
about
        "/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/Maps"
Next step:
   rm /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/Maps
   apt-get upgrade
Result: No errors, "Control panel-> about product" correct, everything looks
ok.

I hope this helps.  Sorry I can not downgrade my OS and try the steps, but this
is my understanding how it happened.
