Just using the current version of bogoutil in both instances did the
trick. Thank you. 
Looking through my logs, it seems to me that the db switch did not
cause the problem, but rather a " bf_compact ~/.bogofilter wordlist.db"
command that i ran later. After the update to 1.0 bogofilter issued no
error messages, they first appeared after I compacted the database...
