Hello, I've had Asterisk installed on HT capable machines in both HT mode(with SMP) and non HT mode (with non-SMP) and did not notice any differences functionally between them. The processor load was always less in HT SMP mode than non HT and I have experienced Asterisk deadlocks in both modes so it doesn't really seem to matter if you leave HT on(at least in my experiences).
HT basically works by splitting off commands to one of two different virtual processors that both run at about 70% of processor's speed(that's why you may notice compiling to take longer when in HT mode) I have heard of some applications having memory addressing errors with HT but I have not seen any evidence to support that in Asterisk thus far. I'm going to try installing a 4 x T1 card on my Athlon 2xMP server next week and see if Asterisk/Digium performance/compatibility improves over the Intel platform.

Run some tests on your system and see what your conclusions are, then feedback your findings to the list so that others may learn from it..
