How are you flashing? RUU? SD?
If weirdness persists you *could* have something corrupt on your SD card so another flash with your card out may do the trick. Good luck. The ROM rocks so it's definitely worth a re-try or three.
cant we just chalk it up to an ID10T or user error? i mean seriously a bad flash wouldn't allow the device to even function in the slightest bit. think about when you flash a router to DD-WRT or something like that & if you had a bad flash it would render the device useless..

i would say maybe some of these people are flashing "dumped" roms vs shipped roms when they do the dance, which in theory does absolutely nothing for you, leavin you with many issues.

i will agree on the SD card thing sorta, but its a long shot in my opinion that you wouldn't notice the effects of corrupt items on the sd card prior to flashing.

if you want, pull the battery in the middle of the flash & see what happens. now thats a "bad flash". i think we should stop blaming a bad flash when in reality its probably b/c they aren't doing the process 100% right.

not trying to call you out winmo, i hope you know i/we all appreciate what you bring to the community, but instead i think we should direct people toward what really could be their issue. i just dont believe this whole bad flash thing would result in the experiences they are describing.

just my $0.02 hope you aren't offended winmo, we all luv ya!
