I've not been able to reproduce it in the lab, but traffic to destinations that are on non-MPLS devices have "problems".  Customers report slow bandwidth and/or page timeouts.  I thought perhaps an MTU issue, but physical interface MTUs network-wide are >9000 with MPLS MTUs set to 1546.  As soon as I added the non-MPLS devices to the prefix-list to prevent label allocation, the problems stopped.
