Well, wether to update or not depends on what you iPod is doing now. Yah, there are some big glitches with this update, not only the menu button-backlight thing, but also in the fact that some files you encode yourself via 3rd party apps like FFmpegX don't work anymore.
I have a 30 GB, and Mac 10.4.4.
If your iPod is working fine now, don't update until a fix comes out. If it's not, then you might weigh the effects of update vs not.
I updated it, as on the morning of the 10th, my iPod lost its mind. It started reseting itself over and over until the battery ran out. Even after a restore, it still reset at least half the times i woke it from sleep. (as it had been doing since i got it for christmas)
The update completely fixed that, thank goodness. I can live with the other glitches for a while until a fix comes out, but it's up to you whether or not you do it.
