Why would it differ in the first place? The m68k core is part of the main MAME distribution and has had many important fixes (mostly to the 020+ support) in the last year or two, those files shouldn't even be changing from baseline in MAMEUI? eg. the recent Time Crisis fix is because of a change to the m68k core, had you not synced it sounds like that would have remained broken in MAMEUI too?

are there other parts of MAME that differ because of MAMEUI that we need to keep an eye on?

I'm glad it's fixed, because it seems I was understating just how serious the issue was based on what you've said, but I don't understand how this situation came to be in the first place.
