The Mini powers down the GPU when it detects no display is attached. Redraws are horribly slow, mouse pointer jerks all over the place ...
I just did the verify/repair permissions, and did a restart, and the users are still visible.
The only thing I can think of is that I have multiple users on my computer?
I just updated a 2008 20" iMac and they are also visible.
I work at a school so ill have many upgrades to test and report back.
Nope... plain old Disk Utility. There are multiple posts in this thread reporting /Users being hidden by this update, so it is nothing unique to my system.
The public "developer" preview almost fixed the video output bug on my 2011 MBP, so let's hope this fixes it completely.
If you're wondering what I mean by almost fixing it, the preview made it work again, but only if you're running on the integrated GPU BEFORE you plug it in the display. It's somewhat annoying that I have to kill the browser (so that OSX automatically switches to the integrated GPU) before I can plug in an external display.
Edit: Apparently not... Still requires you to be running on the integrated GPU before it'll switch to the dedicated one and output video trough it.

You might be onto something there. I have only the one user account and /Users got hidden.
Maybe others can weigh in on this angle.
Multiple local user accounts here. My primary is an admin account as is one of the others. The remaining 3 are standard user accounts.
/Users hidden here on upgrade to 10.9.3
I can echo the issues mentioned before: wifi and mail app
Wifi - doesn't automatically connect after waking up from sleep. Have to toggle wifi off and then back on.
Mail app - doesn't receive mail. If you delete on Macbook it doesn't sync across other devices.
Two huge issues that I only had after using Maverick

All the machines I updated have only one account, and some got hidden, some didn't.
Still can't get network clients to log in successfully to server. Maybe Apple need to quit screwing around with iWatches and take care of their computer business.

I have an early 2011 MBP and I'm really happy with it. Mavericks has given it a new lease of life.
Shoot, still getting errors when creating sparse image files on an SMB server (NAS). Apple really needs to fix their new SMB code.
Mixed news on external drives
Good: All of the external drives that have been problems in sleeping/spinning down do seem to spin down now
Bad: All of the external drives that used to have no problems spinning down don't now
Edited to add: went to the "energy" preferences pane of the server where the non-sleeping drives were, the "spin down disks when possible" was unchecked. I did not uncheck this box, perhaps it got changed/corrupted during the upgrade?

Does this mean that the nVidia card is no longer required for great 4K monitor support from the MBP?
Is there even a reason to have nVidia now outside of gameplay? Final Cut, Adobe CS, all work with OpenCl so integrated is better, as far as my research goes.

Very disappointed...
I'm disappointed. iTunes has not brought back the ability to synchronize Safari bookmarks from OSX for iOS via iTunes (bypassing the nsa-cloud). Rumors had raised hopes.
