Comment:

 If the user has never previously set a layout via screen options, then no
 user option is present, then the meta boxes are hidden.

 If you had hidden one meta box (even un-hiding it after) in 3.0 and
 updated, you would see all of your meta boxes.

 It's a side effect of how we store screen layouts (in that we don't until
 the user does anything with them), which was known and we deliberately
 shipped with it.
