I've just downloaded both files, there seems to be a problem the HAT and WASP series are missing when typing in in the ENTER-name-ENTER-g. The previous versions show all the series except the one HAT and one WASP for which the update is made.
I'm using svn6402 also checked the file contents unable to find problem

"It works fine for me."

Can you select any of the other stars defined in extrasolar.stc?

I'd suggest doing a diff between your old and new files to see what actually changed. Maybe the stc file is damaged.

Some of the exoplanet host star names are defined in starnames.dat, which has also been updated since the last release version of Celestia.
