The issue with the squat backend in version 3 is that it actually is not called at all. Non-Xapian search in 3.0 to 3.3 degrades to a slow linear search over all messages of a mailbox. The pull request I mentioned earlier in this thread aims to fix that for 3.4.
I am not aware of other changes to the squat backend, so I can't tell about any regressions in incremental indexing. Once we fixed the squat backend for 3.4, it should be simple to determine if there is an issue with incremental indexing.
