One that happened to me is this:  the perf release comes with an inews that
offloads some processing to a script called injnews.  Using this inews
silently failed for me -- nntpd would say that an article was successfully
posted, but inews would log some sort of a cat error.  I slapped in the inews
from the previous release and it seems to be working just fine.

Oddly enough, the README says something like "most of inews is written in C now",
but I found only the script.
