Anyone notice when applying constraints (in particular, tangency but it happens with other constraints as well) to splines in SW2005 they sometimes become over constrained (red) or you get warnings (yellow)?

yes.
usually when applying a c2 condition, SW applies an EqualCurvature constraint along with a Tangent constraint. Usually removing one of them fixes it. c2 condition in 2005 splines is not very reliable. theoretically a nice enhancement, but in reality you can't count on it working when you need it to.

Yep, I've seen the c2 constraint do this also. I've sent a example of the spline tangency errors to my var and I wanted to share it with all here but my server is down,.. I'll post it later.
Yeah, I personally would not expect much out of the new c2 option since it's new. Although, the constraint solver has most likely changed to accommodate the new c2 option and other new constraint options so that is probably why we are seeing these warnings and over constraint issues?
Hopefully these will be fixed soon?
