This probably doesn't qualify as important enough, but there was the three hours that a coworker and I wasted going through different versions of Seaside to figure out how isolate was supposed to work.  It definitely didn't work as described, and at that point we went into the bug tracker and saw a few reports on it.

I'm still just getting into seaside, but when I first saw isolate I thought it was a fantastically cool feature that blew my mind.  Pretty bummed that I can't use it.  Although it sounds like there are workarounds, so I hope those get published sooner rather than later (and the offending isolate section should be removed from the seaside book).
