For what it's worth, I upgraded a single-server installation yesterday 
and did not have this problem. It's probably something unusual in your 
setup.

Your new Mailman/Defaults.py (and Defaults.pyc) should contain a 
SYNC_AFTER_WRITE setting (the default is No, which you'd override in 
mm_cfg.py). If you had previously write-protected Defaults.py or 
Defaults.pyc, or somehow overwrote the new one with an old one, then 
the attribute would be missing because the file wasn't updated. 
Otherwise it's not obvious how that would occur, maybe your mm_cfg.py 
fails to import everything from Defaults?
