Upgrading to Gboard beta from Stable Mysteriously Makes Added Dictionary Words Stop Working

The thread title says it all. It started happening right around April 5th. I noticed -Every subsequent Gboard beta update, especially when upgrading from stable, makes the user dictionary stop working. Using a data backup app like titanium backup allows the words to come back briefly, but then they will stop swiping. The words remain in the user dictionary- but they simply will not manifest as they normally would while glide typing. Is this happening to anyone else ....and you know how to fix this annoying bug?
