Good point. I did find that the post slipped down but a quarter turn on the nut has ensured that the quick release works as before. The insertion point for my height puts the bottom of the post two inches below the top tube. There doesn't appear to be any queer flexing of the post when riding.
I love how much lighter it makes it feel. Picking it up with ease is so underrated.

@coppiThat I remember looking at you ti seatpost last time I saw you on the Brompton. I tried your (oh so much lighter) Brompton and when adjusting it it felt that the diameter seemed a tiny tiny bit smaller than original post (could be just an impression though).
Now reading @edscoble post on warranty, it occurs to me that a badly machined aftermarket seatpost (Not specifically your one, I can't tell if it was just a impression or if the seat clamp was just set looser than on mine) could fit badly in frame, and with the great leverage they have due to their length showing, especially with tall riders, this could cause stress to the frame. Maybe check that when loaded it doesn't generate some kind of pivotal force in the seat tube...
