The release4.0 branch needs testing, and that is the point of this thread. Of course there are bugs or issues, finding them and the nature of them is the point of doing this. You're right that these exist and need attention. Whether they should block a binary release is another question altogether.
As for the bug you mentioned... that is on my list of suspicious things to look into. It may not really be a bug. The XML Jonathon presented was not valid and some of what he wrote seemed inconsistent, and I don't get the feeling from what Al wrote that he actually tested it (I may be wrong on this, I haven't finished looking into it, as I mentioned above).

as per the bug found today on Re: HtmlWidget missing a MapStack pop? there are bugs and ver 40 needs a good test. per the commit on this bug Ver 4.0 was not updated. :( Jacopo Cappellato sent the following on 11/26/2007 11:52 AM:Frankly speaking, my interest for the release branch is low, I've not tested it too much and I usually suggest to clients to build their fortune on the trunk. That said it would be great to release it, if there is consensus from the community.

The first question for the release4.0 branch is: is it ready from a code, etc perspective to be released?I asked a question a few weeks ago to try to determine how many peopleare using the release branch and have found it sufficient for even a"beta" label (which technically even the trunk SHOULD have, ie no oneshould commit anything that isn't at least point tested)? It only takes a couple of hours to build the release and get it uploaded and such. I pretty much have to do that as I'm the one whohas been signing the releases and such (it is my signature in the KEYSfile, etc).Before that happens we need to make sure we're ready for a release as a community, and then the PMC needs to vote on a candidate revision inthe branch for a binary release. Right now I personally haven't tested it much, and I realistically won't be able to, but I am willing to vote for it if there is enough community feedback that it is in a good state for release. In fact,I'd be ecstatic to see this happen! Each PMC member needs to considertheir own criteria for the binary release being ready, and right now this is mine.So, that gets us back to the first things first thingy mentioned above...Please comment everyone so we can get this moving forward!I'll leave this on the dev list for now and we can start something ina bit on the user list if there isn't enough feedback here. -David
