2.1->2.2 update stucks forever and removes user scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

[w0w]

I've made image from real machine and moved it into virtualbox. It is 2.1 release with CUPS installed.
When I update the firmware via auto update, it downloads and stucks after "Firmware update in progress". I've manually rebooted it on next day by CTRL+C and typing "reboot". After that my box booted pfsense 2.2  and I've found that upgrade is also removed my scripts started from  /usr/local/etc/rc.d
Is this normal behavior for those alpha 2.2 images (4 april)?
