For what I have looked at there isn't a time when mapred-default.xml
would get red where hadoop-site.xml would not. I am not 100% sure on
this but I know that we don't use the mapred-default.xml file and
haven't had any problems.

Speaking of configuration, is there any clear definition for the
purpose of
mapred-default.xml? My understanding is that its an alternate, misnamed,
site-local configuration, but we're not sure what to do with it.
Right now, we make all of our changes to hadoop-site.xml, then copy that
file to mapred-default.xml because we've heard that sometimes, that file
gets checked instead of hadoop-site.xml.
Any help appreciated
