I get the message on startup and when changing sample rates. It has no effect on the session. I look at it just as a message gone to excess. It's just a minor annoyance to hit "Continue."

I got the pop up window but I can still change the sample rate.

Command 1 does not stop MIDI notes from sounding, I have to go to the drop down menu to do it.

Had some strangeness recording volume changes with MX4, it was like the notes were sounding late.

I think it's as a result of all of the extra caution that I took installing everything as referenced in one of my other posts. :D Seriously, I own every MOTU plugin except for Ethno and Volta and they're working great! I pulled a 6-hr long non-stop session yesterday without a single incident. I had many instances of VI's, lots of waves, Drumagog, and UA and my rig is running the best it's ever run.
Once I get to work on it, would you be willing to compare contents of the folders that contain those MOTU files?

Absolutely!

Do you run those in standalone mode during your DP sessions? Are we talking about the same thing? Again, the plugin versions work fine in DP, no matter how long the session. But you're saying that you run the MOTU VI's in stand alone mode while working in DP, and not as a plugin?

Often I use MachFive and some of the other VI's outside of DP when I'm working on concepts and I've done this for extended periods of time as well. One of my musicians isn't very DP savvy but he is with MachFive so it gets used extensively outside of DP and within DP.

Did you update your iLok extensions for Snow Leopard?

Yes I did. I also own WAVES and I didn't have an issue.

New Information: Standalone DOES work for me for both MSI and Mach Five.2. Disable the AU component for each instrument if you're having trouble. That's what I did, and voilá! They booted and operated 100% ok. ]

Let me know when the font for quickscribe and Ethno are working. That seems to be the hang up at this point.

MSI and MachFive 2 are fine for me both in standalone and plug-in mode. Ethno is a wash. I ,too, am getting the strange font in QuickScribe.

Could I replace the new fonts with ones from a backup of 10.5.8?, or does it have nothing to do with fonts missing, just visual weirdness?

Has it been fixed with update 7.01? Ronan in MOTU Tech Support assures me it has been corrected.
