After having the original 10.2.8 update cause problems on my lcd g4 imac I
waited for the newer 10.2.8 update to come out before updating my g4 Al
powerbook.  However, this newer update still didn't behave completely
gracefully on the laptop, it hung at the end, but did at least boot
properly after a reboot (unlike the imac, which was semi-hosed).

So, in summary, the newer release is better, but doesn't seem perfect.
