Non-monotonicity is a problem.

Non-monotonicity solely on a few pathological edge cases where voter preferences are a nigh-intransitive clusterf—- is not a problem.

I think that the Burlington example that has been cited a lot in this thread shows that non monotonicity is a problem for IRV in not just pathological edge cases.
