1. Since it's close to a release, should I hold off on this change?

I think it's a safe enough change

2. The Fill & Stroke dialog for Opacity and Blur places the percent

signs outside of the SpinButtons, in the labels. Should the Layer Opacity be the same (the label now becoming "Opacity %:") or should it be like the Zoom control (% in the SpinButton itself)?

For consistency, place it in the label. It's also much simpler because it allows you to use the spinbutton unmodified. Appending the % to the editable text requires a lot of extra hassle and (IMHO) makes editing more difficult. With zoom, it's ok because it's rarely edited at all.
