I see what you are thinking.
Run a Robot script from the stable version, export the data (XML
file)...run the analogous script from the unknown version, export its
data...and compare. Then restore to the stable state and move on to
the next script.
Thank you for the pointer!
I still would like to somehow automate the Robot script for the stable
version to the analogous script from the unknown version. We have
quite an investment in the existing test scripts.

Have you looked at DbUnit?
http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/
I use an in-memory database (Hsqldb currently) and dbunit for testing
database expectations.
