A lot of people on the Baldur's Gate Forum are saying that, as well.

On the plus side, they did throw in The Black Pits, which will allow you to create a new 1st-level character, go through a couple of fights, quickly advance until about 4th level, export, then import your character--along with all your earned/purchased equipment--into a new game of BG. Now that I have Near Infinity, DLTCEP, and Shadowkeeper (which will translate BGEE characters correctly) working correcting the mistakes I find will be simple.

My edits so far:
corrected some kit/class alignments
xp cap corrected to an average of 9th, even for multiclass
slight changes to weapon proficiencies--mages may use clubs and monk may use quarterstaff
neutral characters have "happy" sounds with a rep between 8 and 13
scribing scrolls gives 100 xp/level, not 1000 from BG2 and not 10 from BG:EE
Winthrop's Inn now sells 1st-level mage scrolls
the spawn points for areas 2700/2800 (Lion's Way) and 2300 (FAI) have been corrected (but not play-tested for balance)--needs more work here
