While doing some core hacking, I compiled Umbraco then took those compiled DLLs and moved them into the BIN directory of a working local website that I've been working on (actually, deleted the original DLLs, then copied). This led to an interesting discovery: The umbraco.presentation project does NOT compile the same as the official release build.
Specifically, ClientDependency.Core.dll is missing from the Codeplex source. If you checkout the TRUNK and build it, that DLL is missing. To make changes to a site that was started with one of the release downloads, you need to keep some DLLs from the release download in addition to the newly compiled Umbraco.
Didn't look much deeper into the DLL differences, but at lease ClientDependency.Core.dll should be checked into the ForeignDLLs directory of the Trunk.
Thanks Slace, but I did get the 76545 for my changeset... At least Codeplex tells you what changeset is linked to which release.
I just peeked in the 4.1 branch and yup, it is there.
That's definitely counter-intuitive! I saw in the branches that it stopped at 4.1, and figured the trunk was where the current development was. We need better branching (at each milestone) so that people hacking the core can better re-create the release using the source!
Just as a final update, I re-compiled with the correct branch, and everything seems peachy. Thanks Slace.

The latest source is actually in the $/branches/4.1 folder, it's not in the trunk (yes it's confusing).
If you want to modify a 4.5 release though you'll need to get the right changeset, which is here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/76545

Yes, it's very counter-intuitive and non-standard. I really wish this would be fixed.
