[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ 2.5.0 cluster cannot start

Here's the transcript of trying to do that by hand (rabbitmq is
running on beta without any config-file cluster config, and rabbit is
running clustered on the other two machines):

kvm-beta ~ # rabbitmqctl cluster_status
Cluster status of node 'rabbit at kvm-beta' ...
[{nodes,[{disc,['rabbit at kvm-beta']}]},{running_nodes,['rabbit at kvm-beta']}]
...done.
kvm-beta ~ # rabbitmqctl stop_app
Stopping node 'rabbit at kvm-beta' ...
...done.
kvm-beta ~ # rabbitmqctl reset
Resetting node 'rabbit at kvm-beta' ...
...done.
kvm-beta ~ # rabbitmqctl cluster rabbit at kvm-alpha
Clustering node 'rabbit at kvm-beta' with ['rabbit at kvm-alpha'] ...
Error: {unable_to_join_cluster,
           ['rabbit at kvm-alpha'],
           {aborted,
               {function_clause,
                   [{mnesia_schema,cs2list,
                        [{cstruct,schema,set,[],
                             ['rabbit at kvm-gamma','rabbit at kvm-alpha'],
                             [],0,read_write,[],[],false,schema,
                             [table,cstruct],
                             [],[],
                             {{1308,347724,86957},'rabbit at kvm-alpha'},
                             {{4,0},
                              {'rabbit at kvm-gamma',{1308,347733,438674}}}}]},
                    {mnesia_schema,do_merge_schema,1},
                    {mnesia_tm,apply_fun,3},
                    {mnesia_tm,execute_transaction,5},
                    {mnesia_schema,schema_coordinator,3}]}}}

If I try to join with kvm-gamma instead, it gives me the same errors.  Very odd.
