The big thing Lion broke is that remote management no longer worked with VNC. Instead of just showing you the user's current screen, OS X would throw up a login window first, then the login manager would puke trying to read the password keystrokes over VNC. As a result, you could never get past the login screen. I now have to use VNC for my customers on Snow Leopard and below, and screen sharing for those on Lion and above. The only silver lining is that at least their router setup is the same for both approaches.
