Lightroom: 3.6 RC Unresolvable Metadata conflicts arise when using plugins
Issue Summary:
LR 3.6 RC has unresolvabe metadata conflicts under the following conditions:
Edit in external plugin Silver Efex Pro 2 and make additional LR develop adjustments after saving file back to LR.
LR 3.6RC DNG file >> Silver Efex Pro 2 >> LR 3.6 RC with develop adjustments = unresolvable metadata conflicts
UPDATE-- I just tested this work flow in LR 3.5 on a different computer and there were no issues.
I have reverted back to LR 3.5 now.
- Workflow as described now works without conflicts
-Files that previously showed conflicts are now able to successfully retry metadata export and resolve conflict

Consider submitting a problem report to Nik too. I assume the problem does not happen with just *any* plugins, right? Only Nik's?? Only Sliver Efex Pro 2???
(Just because the bug appears in 3.6 RC, does not mean its a bug in 3.6 RC. It may have been a "bug" in 1-3.5 but Nik had programmed their plugin to work with it...)
In fact, first thing to try when 3.6 final comes out is a new version of Silver Efex Pro - they may have fixed it by then, if they haven't already (or it could just be a good 'ol fashioned bug in 3.6 RC of course...).
To Adobe: An informative error message would be helpful for these cases.

win 7/64 - file is not read-only, date does not change.
Confession: I may have exiftool'd it or something in a way Lightroom no longer likes (I also do not think it had this problem in previous version I used to edit it, 3.5 I guess).
So, I don't know if Adobe tightened up some reigns or introduced a bug..., but an error message would sure be nice...

This can happen if you have newlines in the caption or title -- no matter how many times you save, LR still thinks the metadata needs to be saved.

I'm using Silver Efex Pro 2 v 2.003 which I just downloaded again from the Nik site, so it is the most current version of SEP.
Reverting to Lightroom 3.5 does fix the problem.
I have submitted a bug ticket with Nik as well.
