With Nessus 2.2.2,  the NMAP OS guess preferences are no longer
available... 
Were these preferences removed purposely, and if so, for what
reason?

Because it eats too much memory. There is a problem with rlimits. This
has been fixed but we disabled the Nmap option while the fix is not
released.
 
For those of us who are also using Nessus for collecting OS type
Stats, this is a bit of a set back.

You can run nmap by itself, save the results (-oG) into a file that is
uploaded to Nessus. The options were removed but the plugin is still
able to parse the OS or service information.
