The dpreview published the review of Fuji X10 including comparison of old and new sensors. According to dpreview, noise, sharpness and resolution of new sensor are identical to old one. This is very good news because recently I came across a couple threads on dpreview Fuji forum in which people discussed high noise level in shady areas after sensor replacement.
UPDATE: It seems that the problems with the new sensor have been acknowledged by Fuji UK (link). Hmmm... Exactly what was discussed: high noise at low iso and high dynamic range. Fuji says it can fix the problem by software that need to be installed in service center.
Frankly, I would choose occasional appearance of orbs over high noise at low iso.
So, in summary: according to dpreview, the noise level of new sensor is identical/similar to old one, and according to Fuji "a limited number of sensors may produce a grainy (noisy) image".
There is a good solution for Fuji: to get lottery license. No need for replacement :)
