No problems here, FWIW.

Our domains aren't signed up with Google Apps, but we had a few hundred 
users who "activated" some of our domains, causing Google to hijack our 
XMPP service for a while until we requested that they disable Talk for 
those domains.

Based on stpeter's comments on this page
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Talk/thread?tid=089ae52d97176669&hl=en
it seems that Google might have temporarily lost a config file that 
specified which domains don't want to be impersonated by Google without 
their permission.

If this is going to be a regular occurrence, perhaps Google should 
change their default behavior to only offer XMPP service for those 
domains that have had an authoritative representative of the domain sign 
up for the service.
