I'm not sure how to reproduce this, but it's happened to more than just me now; at least 3 people on the server "confirmed" it tonight - sometimes when you upgrade a crag hive, it doesn't actually finish/upgrade, and you can't get crag upgrades.
What is worse, you can't upgrade any hives to crag anymore for the rest of the round, I'm assuming because the game thinks that the crag hive has already been upgraded.
This is potentially very game-breaking and annoying, so if it's confirmed by other people please look at this for the patch next week (which will fix the consistency check problems as well).
I don't know how to reproduce; it just happened to me for the first time tonight and what I did was simply upgrade the second hive to crag. When I came back it wasn't upgraded, crag button was unavailable (blanked), but I could upgrade the same hive to shift or shade...
I've never heard of this happening before 233 by the way.

I'm quite sure it happened in 232.
Again, to the second post, I have no idea how to really track this one down. I've never recorded a demo, and I'm not sure if it will record the problem (especially if I'm not com), but I can try...
As far as the frequency, yeah, it's (luckily) very rare that this has happened, maybe one out of 10-15-20 games. I can't really tell because it's only recently that this has been brought to my attention. I'd only heard of it before, and honestly I kind of didn't believe it almost, but it actually happened to me yesterday.
Server where it happened has/had no mods running.

Yeah, It's one of those things, with a lot of bugs, unless you can get them to happen in a controlled circumstance it's hard to figure out what went wrong. I'm sure it's a real bug, it's probably just one of those weird interactions. Good luck UWE :P
If this happens to happen to anyone, try to remember everything you can about the situation in which it happened (how many hives up? what was the chamber build order? did a hive die before hand? did you cancel any upgrades?) and post it here. More information might help narrow things down.
We started a game as aliens. Immediately someone jumped in and started crag hive. iirc as soon as the hive finished becoming a crag hive, it wasn't actually a crag hive, and we couldn't build (as reported above) any crags/shells/etc and our res was eaten.
The way we fixed this was by resetting the map (votemap the same map). I think it might have something to do with finishing a game and having the map stay the same (Kind of like how sometimes marines keep their armor/weapon upgrades, or sometimes people's scores stay the same as the previous match's). We re-readied and we had the same problem two more times in a row prior to the map change.
Also, PLEASE integrate assists from ns2stats mod into the base game.
