I've not had the red X instead of the Previous Message button/icon, but I have noticed often it is much slower to appear than the rest of the page.
Everything else will be up and visible, and page apparently done, and I'll have a blank section where the previous message button belongs for another second or two.

I posted this in Feedback but am curious if anyone else is experiencing either of these two conditions...
I'm beginning to have to type my e-mail address and password again, whereas just clicking on Log In worked before.
Viewing posts, I'm seeing a red X instead of the Previous Message icon, but only sporatically within a post.
