as a workaround -though i understand that this may still irritate your 
sensibilities- you could:
in 4.8.1, bounce the tracks in question through their dedicated effects 
-keeping the original unaffected audio nearby, of course- and then do the 
upgrade.
i believe that there must be (non-Emagic, other) similar plug-ins available 
that'll continue to work within 5.0/5.1, with which to do much the same as 
you've already done with TapeDelay & AutoFilter.
