One bug has already come up. It seems that the original 845 2d driver patch doesn't correctly respect refresh rate settings in the xf86config file. So, for example, the driver doesn't work at all on an NEC LCD1530v. There were two later patches to add 3d, which I'm not going to work on for a few weeks because they're very large and we've got as deadline coming up soon. But, the second patch contains a fix for the refresh rate selection. I might email upstream and ask them if they can show me what part of the patch fixes that problem, because its a very large patch. (I also might just wait for 4.3 to be released!)
