Sorry to break yours and many people's dream, I found the bokeh problem of
90/2 for quite some time but was too lazy to do a more systematic test with
the FF sensor. Anyway here are two shots I took with the 90/2 (most likely
at F2.8 or F4), you will see what I mean:

Due to the problem I didn't post any of the 90/2 shot in my 09 flower show
gallery:

Fortunately, most of the shots I took in the show were with the 135/4.5 this
year. May be other than this specific focusing distance the bokeh of 90/2 is
good, I remember it do very well for people portrait.
The 90/2 seems works better with the 4/3 sensor as I remember.
A good news about the 90/2 as I have mentioned before, it has excellent edge
to edge performance even wide open. Although it is very slight less in
resolution than the 100/2 at the center but it beat the 100/2 for edges
performance hands down. Same case happen to 50/2 vs 50/1.4.

The 90/2.0 was "OK"?
"OK" ?!?!?!?!
The 90/2.0 is magical... mystical... übersmoothicalicious bokeh...
Really, I have come to agree with Moose that it's really not the world's
best lens at Macro magnifications, it is clearly optimised for
near-macro. But in terms of smoothness, with near perfect bokeh
(I have never managed to coax hard-edged out-of-focus highlights out
of mine, always smooth gaussian-blurred circles) I find the bokeh of
this lens impeccable.
I have a back-log of about 200 photos with this lens to print in the
darkroom,
but with each one I get a better idea of its character. Complex
optical design
or not, it's bokeh is wonderful.
As mentioned in my previous mail, not an EF 85/1.2L, no, but closer
than anything
else I've seen.
