I'm one of the folks who ran a quick test on this. ;-)

I've set up a server and a client, both running 4.2.8p1-beta5, configured
autokey, and verified that the client synchronizes to the server.

Then I replaced first the client only, then the server only, and finally both
binaries with the v4.2.8p1-bug2671-RC1 from Harlan's private directory, and I
can confirm that each combination still works, at least with the IFF keys.
Haven't looked at the patches, yet, so I can't tell if the key type matters.
