Interesting problem & interesting solution...If this happen is case of such huge sites like FreeShipping.org, then I think it might happen in our case too..

We are going to make site LIVE with all old interlinks changed to new one & other URL structure modification, will we be facing the same issue?
Also submitting the old xml sitemap will not work in this case, so should we have to change present interlinks?

If the same issue affect us, we will also drop in ranking & traffic.

Great post Ibrahim. Very informative one and this error could happen by anyone. It is something like an eye opener. Thanks for sharing this.

Yeah Christy, In this case what we want do is we need to redirect all corresponding Google Indexed pages first. We will keep the old url structure in the content linking area for some time so that the crawlers will get enough time to get the requests & will understand the new url structure. After the re-indexing of all new pages we will modify the new url link throughout the site as well.

Hopes this will help you.....

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying Ibrahim, But I believe we have already changed the entire interlinking!...now we must have to reverse back all.
