What OS is the live site/server running? I have always had problems testing on platforms other than the final one, even from linux to linux, with things like PHP and MySQL versions. So, the testing I did never seemed worth it. Why not set up a subfolder or subdomain on the live host and play there, to eliminate variables?

I think the developers could better use their resources making bbPress work in production environments (MS and *nix) rather than on localhost. There seem to be quite a few path/slashconfig issues getting it running on localhost.
