Yes, now I'm using it in anger I'm seeing several fatal errors like the following (I'm syncing with a local mount point, no network access involved):

need to write 129836 bytes, iobuf.out.buf is only 65532 bytes.
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at io.c(599) [sender=3.1.0]
rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)

need to write 401925 bytes, iobuf.out.buf is only 65532 bytes.
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at io.c(599) [sender=3.1.0]
rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32)

I've rolled back to version 3.0.5 (the most recent I had installed previously) and it seems to be doing the job.
