I'm amazed as to how well XBMC works on my iPhone! However here are a couple of issues I've come across:
1) Large SMB shares cause XBMC to crash / exit. The source I added contained over 1000 files. Maybe its trying to generate thumbs for them or something?!
2) If/when XBMC crashes, it remains as a running process in the task switcher, although it won't open if you try and use it. If you kill it and try and re-open XBMC, it hangs on load with a black screen and eventually exits, leaving it in the same state as mentioned. Rebooting the phone clears this issue.
3) Scrolling is a little difficult / often impossible!
4) A big old pile of GUI issues on such a small screen, but that's something I'm sure will clear up over time if/when someone works on a more iPhone biased skin! Saying that, I may look into that my self...
5) When I initially ran XBMC and loaded an HD MKV file, the sheer awesomeness caused me to wet my self. However I see no need to fix this issue, I can always buy more underwear.
