I'm doing almost exactly what you're doing except that my regulator
chip doesn't have an enable line.  So far it has worked exactly as it
should, applying power by plugging the 5v supply into pins 1 and 3 on
P9 just powers the BBB up as normal.  I only have a .33uF tantalum on
my regulator input and nothing on the output.

Thanks, I have been experimenting with different cap values and am not 
seeing any irregular voltage drop on the output of my regulator. I might 
decide to use a DCDC converter.  Which regulator are you using?
