Yes, when you reinstalled on the reformatted internal flash storage, you would have reinstalled 10.9.3. As you found out, you need to find a copy of 10.9.2 if you reinstall the OS. My thinking, which may have been in error, was that you would just run from the recovery disk, 10.9.2, until Resolve with OS X 10.9.3 is compatible. These fixes usually are relatively quick.
Glad you finally got back to 10.9.2. Wish Apple made it easier to install an older version but they always know what's best for you. <sarcasm>

The thing that confused me is that the "recovery partition" was labeled "OS 10.9.2", and its only purpose is to reinstall the OS (you can't actually run OS X from that recovery partition, it's created automatically by OS X and is essentially a copy of the install DVD on your hard drive.) So the recovery partition being labeled 10.9.2 means it should have installed 10.9.2. So yeah, basically I had to find a copy of 10.9.2, since I had no other way of booting into that version of the OS.

This is an issue related to the 2013 Mac Pro, so it doesn't have Nvidia cards. I don't think this would do anything.

I haven't noticed any issues with PP CS6.
I *really* don't want to call ITS, as I had to convince them to buy me a MacPro instead of a PC...
I have 2 projects on deadline. This is the 3rd time an Apple update has burned me. Starting to doubt my allegiance!
Update:
Another open ticket with Apple here. I hope the figure out a patch quick...
I learned a similar lesson: always have a backup of your computer that you can restore. Things like this have happened to me in the past and my new Mac Pro was so new that I hadn't taken this step yet. When you have a backup, you can even simply boot the OS straight from the backup. That way you don't even need to wipe the current buggy OS in the short term, you can just wait until they get the issue resolved. (no pun intended).
It's a pain in the ass to format/reinstall everything, seeing as I just had to do it. But that's really your only option if you don't have a 10.9.2 backup. I suppose you could always use SpeedGrade for those two projects...
