I tested three games with firmware before moving on:

Far Cry 4 - FAIL - disk read error a few seconds into the initial loading screen
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor - PASS
Red Dead Redemption GOTY - FAIL - fails a 9% when checking game data

Downgrade to 1.00 gets them working again.

edit1:
This is on a CECHG01, loading split isos from an external drive formatted to FAT32. Tried loading with webMAN MOD Lite v1.34.01, multiMAN v04.66.06, and IRISMAN v3.33.

edit2:
I also tried coping Dean's stage2 over manually while in 1.00, and it has the same behaviour as 1.01.

Nice to see Cobra being perfected. It deserves it as this is an amazing system Sony could have done so much more with as our scene devs have been proving.
