iWeb wiping sites out if publishing from two different machines to same dot mac account

As of this week - not sure if it's iWeb 08 or changes on the DOT MAC  
back end, but here's what I can reproduce:

I have two machines set up with iWeb:  a MBPro and an iMac.

The MBPro has iWeb set to publish about 6-8  sites to my dot mac  
account - I often use it for scratch sites or temp sites.

The iMac has iWeb set to publish 3 additional (different) sites to my  
dot mac account. One of these sites is part of a business site - and  
is rather critical.


As of this week, when publishing from the MBPro, it wipes out the dot  
mac installation of the first of three sites published from the iMac  
(the first site listed in the site list column in iWeb on the iMac).

If I publish from the iMac, it wipes out the dot mac installation of  
the first of eight sites published from the MBPro (the first site  
listed in the site list column in iWeb on the MBPro).

You can't really post this bug to Radar, but I did under iApps --  
can't say this is an iWeb or a DOT MAC issue.

I've also notified Apple Support.

Anybody else using both a desktop and a portable to publish different  
sites to their dot mac account?  anybody notice the above problem?

Oh, one more thing: don't name your main page "index" - particularly  
if you have more than one site being published.  Make it "home" or  
"Welcome" .. or ...
