They seem to behave identical:
I haven't seen any more disk trouble, but one of my X displays go black now and then, forcing me to do a display resize to get it back. This does not happen at all with 2.6.13-rc4-mm1.
The display that goes black uses the evdev protocol to read the second keyboard which is not connected to any tty. That is a very new option which could have its own issues, but there where no problems in rc4-mm1. It is annoying enough that I don't want to run rc5 for anything but tests.
