It works on the 8/16 build, as I use it every day. I don't restore anything from previous builds though - whenever installing a new rom I always do a factory reset and wipe both caches before installing and then download and configure all apps from scratch. It's a real pain in the ass but I think it's the only way to guarantee you won't get any weirdness.
Not sure if that could be contributing to your problem, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.
ETA: Then again, since mdoggie is having the same issue, maybe it got broken between builds?
This is my first build of any cm9 on my phone, as i just got my phone replaced under warranty. So, this build is the first custom rom on this hardware. I still did a data wipe and cache clear before installing.
