I noticed the other day, using beta 3, working at the REPL. Some fairly mundane errors (I no longer remember what they were) were showing up in the stacktrace as Compiler Exceptions which completely threw off my intuition about where to look in my code for those errors. So you're not alone, something definitely changed.
