Just to recap...
I have a data file saved by GnuCash 2.0.5.
I opened that file in 2.2.0 and saved.
I then took that file and opened and saved it in 2.0.5 which
  causes the Root account type to be set to NO_TYPE.

If this file is then opened in 2.2.0 again it will not recognize
the Root account properly.  So, the Root account shows up in the
display.  I didn't check but I suspect it also got re-parented
to another Root account.

So, I'd say that once you've saved your data file in 2.2.0 you should
not go back to 2.0.5 and save there.  This has nothing to do with the
data file change noted in the release notes (around scheduled
transactions).
