I do not know if this is relevant because CVR has a different, probably correct, take on this. Did you re-install texlive after upgrading or you just updated the links? I usually install texlive in /opt/texlive so that it doesn't get wiped out when I upgrade my linux. After installing texlive I simply recreate the links in tlmanager. I had some similar problems because I earlier used texmfvar for my local style files. Some of the format files were dumped there and they caused a similar problem when I updated my texlive. I shifted my local files to texlive/localtexmf, purged all the files in the texlive distribution except my local files in texlive/localtexmf/ and reinstalled texlive. Everything worked fine. In a nut shell, you may have some old format files from older version of texlive and the new version of texlive is attempting to use it, leading to this error.
