Yes.  This also ocurred using 2.6.0-test2-mm5.  I can remount it 
manually, but that's a little annoying.  When it prompts for the 
password for maintenance, I enter it then issue:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/root /. 

I've also used /dev/hde7 to reference the device when remounting it and
had no problem.

I was intending to try to get the the root (no pun intended) of the matter
sometime in the next few days.  I spent quite a while searching through
the forums, finding no solution there.
