If you're gonna warn us of a bug, please provide some salient details.
Not sure exactly what the "bad" is, but here is my experience. I run WoW on two computers. One has an ATI Radeon 5800, one has an Nvidea 295 GTX. I updated both drivers about a week ago. On my Nvidea machine only, my screen has gone blank about twice every day, most of the time eventually coming back with a "video card driver has failed, then recovered" message from windows. It has only been happening in WoW (of course, that's what I'm running 90% of the time on that computer) and only since I updated the driver.
That's what's happened with me... take it for what it is worth.

Again, these don't accure everyday, and mostly when I multibox, but I doubt this has anything to do with this specific driver only. If anyone can find out what the problem with this driver is, please post it. I remember last year, there was another driver issue, but I never suffered from that one cause I didn't update at that time till the next one came out and the problem was solved.
I've been running on 257.21 since a few weeks ago when I formatted my computer. I haven't had any issues.
I run 5 WoWs on two monitors on two GTX 280s.
