...It's a general request that if people are aware of breakage in upcoming updates to report it to this list.
Agree. I would advocate posting it to this list and making it part of the Announcement post as well. This issue was discussed on IRC channels (#centos-devel and/or #centos-qa - don't remember with certainty) and Akemi made the forum post, so it was known by those who were paying attention to those specific venues. A wider reporting of an issue of this magnitude is certainly warranted.
I think I set a good example by reporting the breakage in xorg-x11-server-utils.
Also mentioned in the forum thread, and thanks.

The issue is a bit more severe than just breaking evolution. It also breaks the gnome desktop by crashing gnome panels.
The use of the SL5 packages is working well for me - also discussed extensively in the forum thread. Linked again here:
