upstream has given up on this bug: 

"The 0.4 series is out of date by years.  While I can't find anything in
the docs that indicate it should not be restorable by the 0.6 series, I
suspect enough changes have been made regarding error checks that older
versions may be violating something that the new code requires.  You can
still download the old version from:

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/duplicity/OLD/";

i think it's an ok decision as old versions of the software are 
available and in the debian archive, so i'm about to close this bug
on our side as well. i will put a note into the relevant readmes 
regarding restores across versions. i'll also make sure to 
verify backups+restores across major versions before uploads 
to give us a good chance of catching future incompatibilities before 
the version gap becomes too large.

regards
az
