I've been using it over the past two days and it seems to be working just fine. At first I had the impression that the film advance was smoother than on my other M6, but then I realized that XP2 unwinds from the cassette more easily than Tri-X. Also, I noticed that the metering spot on the curtain of this new body seems whiter than the one on the other body, but I see no difference in metering. (I've always wondered how the meter can stay accurate when that painted spot is constantly being flexed with each cycle of the shutter.)
