After installing official patch 2 for epoch I noticed two peculiarities.

1. When I drag a region with the mouse (left mouse down) the
    buffer-modified indicator in the mode line ("%*" in
    mode-line-format) flickers between "-" and "*".

   There doesn't seem to be any adverse effect.

2. When I run (split-window-vertically) sometimes the first character of
    the top mode-line is not displayed in reverse-video.

   Then, after I run (delete-other-windows), sometimes one stray
    character in the buffer is displayed in reverse video.  It goes away
    if I run (redraw-display).

This is on a Sun Sparc 2 (SunOS 4.1.1, X11R4, twm).

These are insignificant quirks and patch 2 is much appreciated.

I do wish however that the basic-mouse patch from Kenneth C. Laprade
(laprade@trantor.harris-atd.com) had been included.  I find it useful to
be able to paste into the minibuffer with the mouse.
