But I saved out the data files prior to updating and then copied them back into thir respective folders - editing as needed first. bad idea?
Hmm... and you saved all of them? I still say it is a bad idea to do this in the stock data folder, and you still want to keep everything in a mod folder...

In this case, you'll need to log into the game as Host and process a turn. This will tell SE4 not to complain about changing data files and game Versions, and will successfully upgrade the game to the new patch. Not sure what would be wrong with saved empire files... double check the RacialTraits.txt file and make sure any changes you had made to it before are still present.
