Yeah, I also noticed that path problem too. I mentioned it to Simon and 
he took care of that for both dot.cshrc and dot.profile. I think he may 
have also removed refrences to /usr/X11R6 as well, but I'm not 100% sure 
on that.

Another quirk is that newaliases isn't run after installation, but I had 
already mentioned that and has been noted.

Just like you said, most things are easily fixed (i.e. path entries) or 
worked around. :) Matt's doing a good job of updating the errata as soon 
as quirks are found. I just hope people read the errata before they 
install so they know what to expect.
