Only thing I've noticed was a 2-4 mhash/s drop, and refresh balance button was gone along with slush's pool set to Other.
Went back to v2001-07-01.
I think this is the same problem I've got, please pardon me if you've answered this but I can't see an explanation reading your posts. Is it just a bug with my system or has the refresh balance for slush's pool disappeared? I don't run it through "other" either, just curious why this has been removed if it's not a problem on my end.
