I'm not sure what was going on here. The only thing I can think of is that 3.0.6 and 3.1.1 were released at the same time as per:

http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/about/press/archive/2010-07-20-01

but we only offer that latest 3.1.x on the homepage. Which is standard practice as that's what we want users to upgrade to.

The update mechanism can only offer an update to one particular version at any one time, so in this case, for a 3.0.5 user, they would need to upgrade to 3.0.6 and then they would be offered 3.1.1.

Assuming this is the case, I don't think there is anything to do here - everything is standard practice as far as I can tell.
