I have absolutely no proof of this, but based on my experience, having 3 different Yosemite installs and not reporting the same bugs on all 3, I'm almost thinking that Apple sent me different versions of the same build specific to my problem. I know they say they don't do that, but I can't think of any explanation for me getting different results on what is supposed to be the same build on 3 different installs. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but Apple did respond to me directly about one bug on one Yosemite built. That's what leads me to believe this.
Got a tip for us?

They definitely do not send you a particular build; there is no mechanism to correlate a bug report with a specific computer via Software Update. The differing results are due to software or hardware differences in your various computers.
I had this. As soon as I changed language from English to English UK (since I'm in the UK), it went back to dating OSX Yosemite
One is an exact clone of the other yet I got different results.
The third is based an install with nothing transferred including MAIL, settings. Totally from scratch.
Obviously I'm going to have to do a 2nd install if possible, but how is that possible with a beta?
UPDATE: I got an immediate response for more info on this security login problem from Apple, so I'm very happy that they're interested in why or how this could happen.
Thank You Apple.
Install whichever released 10.10.x full installer you have, then run the prerelease configuration utility, then run Software Update.
There was any announcement about 10.10.3 today.
If iOS 8.2 contains security updates, 10.10.3 will need to follow very quickly.
Edit: Looks like 10.10.2 will get a security update but not 10.10.3 today.

Why would there be? It's not had that many betas yet and public beta release was the other week. Not enough time yet.
