We have Sparkle's HEAD from 11/11 (f20c12) compiled into Sandvox 2.2.4, which you can download from www.karelia.com/sandvox ....

Check out these steps. Very disturbing. Not quite sure how to diagnose. I don't see any checkins that I think would have fixed this...

1. Download a copy of Sandvox 2.2.4 and place it in a folder with write permissions
2. Make a copy of it named "Sandvox beta" -- now there are two applications in the folder.
3. Launch "Sandvox Beta"
4. Go to the preferences menu to check for beta versions, check for updates, and install the beta.

Result: the Sandvox Beta is deleted, and Sandvox is replaced with the new download.

What should happen is that Sandvox.app is left alone, and Sandvox Beta is replaced/relaunched.

Help!
