Yes, I run MainPine cards in production environments with the Linux 2.6 
kernel and not using the "multiport latch".

However, as I cannot speak for MainPine and as I am not intimately 
associated with Linux kernel serial driver development I cannot give you 
any kind of authoritative answer or explanation with regards to the 
importance (or not) of the "multiport latch".

It works fine for me.  On both of those systems so far this month they 
are at a 0.001 error ratio (errors per pages received), and that's quite 
normal for most of the production systems that I administer.  So in my 
cases the multiport latch is not apparently affecting anything 
negatively the way it is natively.  However, only very rarely would all 
ports on the card be receiving faxes simultaneously, and they are - for 
the most part - receive-only environments.
