It completely locked my drive on a Macbook Pro mid-2014. With no warning or user information, it simply wouldn't accept my password and could not log-in. I had to drop into recovery mode and use the terminal with some obscure commands from a forum post somewhere to unlock it ... talk about user friendly. Apple is really slipping in terms of QA here.

Details: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/80174 (it had something to do with the preboot iirc, note that this wasn't on the beta but the actual release)

I had disk utility telling me that my unlock password both did and did not work, and I didn't want to move forward like that. Disk utility's password prompt would do the 'ya done fucked up' wiggle at the same time the main window below it loaded partition information.
