I shot a bunch of test shots outside (nothing exciting from a photographic standpoint, but I just wanted to get out and see how it performed). Let me tell you, this lens is quite, quite good.
Bokeh isn't perfect, but I like it. It is generally smooth in most circumstances...can get a little busy with very busy backgrounds, but it adds a little character. It is prone to longitudinal CA at very wide apertures (like every ultra-fast lens I've ever known in this range), though it appears to mostly be gone by f/2.
Simple boring shot, at f/1.2, but the crops show it retains good detail even into the corners wide open. It's not razor sharp wide open (like the Olympus 75mm or something), but it is definitely sharp enough to my eyes, and really excellent for a lens at f/1.2.
Full size:
100% center crop:
100% upper right corner crop:
Likewise, I thought this impressive, also at f/1.2:

And here's my favorite bokeh testing statue:
