It seems that Tazz has experience with this so it might be a good idea to flush your cache first. Perhaps now? While the servers are down your cache might be empty? I'm just glad that I have a couple Astropulse WUs queued (last one processing now) so that I had work during this server outage. In a couple hours my cores are going to go into rest mode.

With an un-modified app_info.xml I got 3 AP WUs that I couldn't process. Since I edited it, not a one!

I copied my 5x BOINC folder before I installed 6.2.14. When I realized what was going on I disabled network access before any WUs were lined up for download. I went back to 5x and finished up the work there and installed 6x again.

In the past I've never had BOINC re-download a WU. They stay in my tasks (on the website) until they run past the deadline. But, it's been quite a while since I've lost a WU and things may have changed. I pretty much backup before I change anything.
