No, not really. It was noted by more than one person that it breaks some simple things in PHP, affecting the bahavior of scripts that are already out there. Until it is totally stable (which you yourself it is not yet) it should not be enabled by default. How, after 4.3 is branched you were going to merge the mbstring dev thing on sourceforge into PHP CVS and then we can enabled it by default for PHP 5. This will get a lot of good testing, and then IMO the mbstring module should be integrated even more and replacing the things in PHP that mbstring now "changes".
