I have quite a list of "glitches" with master docs, and have filed several issues. Some of the older problems have been fixed, but many have not. The biggest problem for me is the random errors in cross-referencing within a single file when it is a subdoc in a master doc, but not when it is a standalone file. This has been such a big problem that I have given up attempting to compile the Writer Guide using a master doc; instead, I pull all the chapters into one big file. That is a bit time-consuming, but no more than trying to find and fix all the wrong x-refs, and I'm more confident that the final result will be okay.
