http://wdnaddons.com/ has the PTR UI code. I looked at the changes and nothing stand out as an important compatibility issue.
There are a few interesting tidbits in there. Blizzard removed most if not all reference to GetText() and introduced a new escape code "|4" for correctly choosing between singular and plural form. They also introduced strreplace as an API to speed up the chain of string.gsub that is occuring in the Combat Log.
You can find reference of a new in-game service too. "Refer-A-Friend", that looks like it will allow someone to grant level (and/or faction?) to another player.
1. Abacus-2.0 (and any addon that depends on it eg. CraftList2)
[2008/04/24 16:40:46-3-x1]: Abacus-2.0\Abacus-2.0.lua:21: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got nil)
Abacus-2.0\Abacus-2.0.lua:21: in main chunk
"COPPER" "SILVER" "GOLD" have been replaced by format strings instead of static labels in globalstrings.lua
"%d copper" etc and they're named [COPPER|SILVER|GOLD]_AMOUNT
2. Postal
[2008/04/24 16:41:26-3-x1]: Postal-2.1\Postal.lua:7: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got nil)
Postal-2.1\Postal.lua:7: in main chunk
Same reason as above.
3. WhoLib-1.0 (and any addon embedding it)
WHO_NUM_RESULTS_P1 has been removed.
Just a heads up for authors.
Which addon ? Which library ? Why ?

Extracted from the ptr client with AddonInterfaceKit.
I think it might be better to wait for the next push before making changes to addons
... looks like they borked something badly.
I'm thinking that actually something went wrong with your extract. I just extracted the data and it definitely has
## Interface: 20400
in FrameXML.toc and I'm not missing a lot of files. Just the changes others are talking about is what I am seeing.
Thank you, that was indeed the problem.
You can ignore most of my posts (I'll edit them out) except for the actual in-game error logs.
