I then tried the split-only and split-kernel patches from the 2.4.14 XFS cvs snapshot, taken just before or after 1.0.2 release - no changes required.

I had both of these symptoms after applying the 1.0.2 patch in its entirety. After switching to split-kernel and split-only patches only these things went away. I didn't delve any deeper.
