First of all, thanks for compiling this list.
This issue:
"incorrect downmixing of audio - front channels downmixed to right stereo channel, rear channels downmixed to left stereo channel"
is still present in the 10.0-4 build. And it's making me crazy, and unable to use XBMC on ATV2 as of now :\

Incorrect audio channels, SSA subtitles not working and no untethered jailbreak make this one poor experience for now.

Strange how different people have different priorities.
I don't care about the audio channels as I just pass the AC3 through to my receiver. Don't ever use subtitles. Don't mind once in a blue moon plugging my macbook pro into the AppleTV to boot it when the power goes out (almost never happens).
XBMC for ATV2 has been a great experience so far!!

So, based on three non-issues you call it a "poor experience" ? Great.

Please try to grasp that people are different, have different equipment and thus different needs.
I, for one, do not have a surround receiver, but a regular old NAD stereo amp. As such, the downmix issue is a dealbreaker for me since 90% of my movies are encoded in surround. Watching a movie with all the speech in the right speaker, and weird background noises in the left, is not a pleasant experience.
While I agree that subs and tethered jailbreak (not really a XBMC issue..) are non-issues, people feel differently about these things based on their personal preference. What's not an issue for you, may be a dealbreaker for someone else.
I have faith that the XBMC team will eventually fix most issues, so I am waiting patiently as I've used and loved XBMC for years, and will continue to do so, be it on ATV2 or a less elegant HTPC solution.

Audio channels all screwed up during stereo down-mix is a huge issues makes watching movies poor.
Subtitles is another huge issue. Makes all the foreign films uslessless

"poor-experience" is quite an overstatement IMO.
The release itself is in it's infancy and for the most part functional. If anyone remembers how slow going the original XBMC for xboxv1 development was, this is LIGHTYEARS ahead.
I'm actually rather impressed that a 2nd update has been pushed already.
If the audio channels are such a big deal for you, and this is the only viewing option you have ATM; just physically swap the wires of the speakers on the back of your receiver. VOILA, you got a 100% temp fix. Granted, you shouldn't HAVE to do that - but if it makes your poor experience turn into a great experience. Why not.
