Yes, now with XEmacs installed it works fine.

No, I don't use Biber (yet).  But at least it doesn't seem to break
existing functionality.

In my opinion, the current 11.86 release has so many known issues like
preview not working with recent emacsen that it has no value in holding
back a new release, but simply release more often when bugs get reported
and fixed.
