Hi Phil,

The issues I'm aware of currently are listed in

  http://get.debian.org/images/release/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/

but specifically the one I'm hoping to get help with from the KDE
folks is issue #1 there:

  KDE live desktop unstable on some (tested) hardware

  Status: still a problem with 9.0.1

  There is a segmentation fault in kmanage - the first obvious symptom
  will be a failure to automatically log in. A workaround is to switch
  to VT1 and wait for the desktop to start there. This has been
  reproduced on hardware (using Intel graphics?), but not when testing
  in a virtual machine.

  See #865382.
