There's a long thread about this in the support forum with a solution: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/32897-Excessive-start-up-loading-times/page8?p=431791#post431791

Scott Manley did a video comparing different altitudes of gravity turns.

I tried manually changing the Version= to the new number and I got a different IO error (that I forgot to save) so it's definitely loading the file, but something is different it how it deserializes the data. I've never done .net dev, but the code in the LoadKethaneDeposits() isn't doing anything to version the data that I can see.

Mine were reset to blank too, file permissions are fine. I got this error this in the log the first time after installing your most recent version. It was only the first load, subsequent loads have no errors and don't remove maps anymore.

It seems like generated deposits aren't compatible between your new builds of the plugin dll and the previous official release.

Do you have MechJeb installed? I had this happen to me and it was the auto-stage from the accent module that was firing off my rocket stages once I took off.
