There was a Potlatch bug early on (my fault), which has now been
fixed, that'll be responsible for referencing the low numbered nodes.

The root of the problem, however (as has been stated many times
before), is lack of transactions and foreign key constraints in the
0.5 API.
This is being fixed in the 0.6 API.
