Well, there is another. The before-poll hook doesn't get the correct
arguments and before-acct-poll is run twice. I've fixed this locally
and will post a patch to the patch (or a unified path) once I figure
out how to do that in git.

Hmmm... I don't know enough about the yaml infrastructure to fix
this. Does anyone else know if there is a way to specify a default
value when one if not found in the yaml file. This would allow for
graceful upgrading and (in theory) keep the sources.yaml file backward
compatible.
