Web.config not updating correctly on upgrade or install, Web.config not updating correctly on upgrade or install

We've had issues on past upgrades and recent installations from scratch where items are missing from web.config - are there any known issues on this or pre-reqs for ensuring that the web.config files are properly updated?

Aaron has posted fixes for this (unfortunately this isn't fixing the issue I've currently got on missing safecontrol entries), but I've not seen anything about root causes.

Yep, that was one of the first things we did, the standard route of web app activate, then disable and enable through the various levels of site/site collection features.

Forgot to mention that it would be nice if this locking were flagged, or flagged more obviously if it's already in the copious messages shown during the installer's progress. I'm worried now that various things will be missed as we update
