AFAIK it has always been that sudo still works if you log out and back 
in. But I never experienced that sudo doesn't obey the five minute 
timeout on passwords, and I'm running 6-STABLE on 3 machines.

I just have this in my sudoers file, which doesn't give me any problems.

%wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
