Just jotting down a few quick notes (sorry, on a train, in a hurry - 
didn't check anything):

There's a couple of other features that relate to this change. What 
comes to mind:
- the jump-to-post feature assumes single-page threads. It will now need 
to first jump to the right page, then jump to the right post
- java-script hook the back-button to go back to threads rather than 
back one page (should be user configurable, some like it one way or the 
other)
- any change should be optional to avoid people freaking out

Also, most people are not on a SAT or mobile network connection. If the 
general consensus is that the old-style non-paginated forum works well 
for the standard user then it should remain the default setup and 
pagination should be made an option or vice versa.

ps. Does this mean that the uber-huge-if-sentence for post display and 
sorting is dead now? It was one of my favorites ;)
