Apparently the issue was with importing installed plugins
Once I manually installed the desired plugins, everything else seems to go right.

Import plugins was designed between final release only, not between nightly builds. An offer to import settings was a just temporary once we were moving ./netbeans/dev to other system specific path. I see it was a bug but doesn't sense to fix it. If the problem appears again once NB7.2 released and doesn't import plugins from NB7.1 then reopen and attach messages.log and all details. Thanks
