Looks like I do. (Uh, can I say that Peter is much smarter than I and that I will pick lice from his and your backs or whatever I need to do for this not to be a status grab?)
Ontological crises is about mappings between models of the world to define utility functions over new domains. It maps each state in the old ontology to a probability distribution over states in the new one, which I think is clever and cute. But most of the work to figure how mapping should actually be done (besides the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” rule about isomorphism, and continuity) will be in looking at humans, as the conclusion says.
Did I miss any papers?
Thanks for the abstracts! They seem to center mostly around defending various schools of Singularity predictions, especially the fourth one, plus yours which says “Value is fragile”.
You understand De Blanc’s papers?
The Singularity Hypothesis abstracts are here.

Convergence of expected utility is a grown-up version of his post explaining the basic idea. Understanding details of the proof is work, but not hard.
