I find it annoying as heck when writers change a story after publication. I'm willing to grant leeway for short stories that are later expanded into novels, but that's about it.
(Orson Scott Card's retelling of the Ender series, for example, very much irked me. The books from Bean's POV were pretty good, but there were inconsistencies that couldn't be explained away as simply the result of Bean's different view of events.)
