*smacks LJ with a dead fish*
Okay, seriously, LJ, WHAT. Spoiler-span code seems to have stopped working. I've tried it in two different browsers and in two different journals, and I'm pretty sure it's not me.
On top of that, people have already complained about what has been done to comment display in LJ's "light" style (and apparently for some people in the default style as well; it doesn't do it for me, but it does for some, possibly depending on your prefs) -- the gray separator bars have become much shorter, so that the icons overlap the line below. It's not only fugly, but makes the comments harder to read.
And on top of THAT, I noticed the last couple of days that the "expand" button in threaded comments doesn't reliably work anymore. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it just makes the whole comment thread disappear and the only way to get it back is by reloading the page. (The first time it happened, I thought I'd done something wrong. But it just kept happening.)
Is this happening to anyone else, or is it just me?

Attempting a spoiler cut...

CONFUSED FRIENDSHIPPER IS VERY CONFUSED!
ETA: Although I see what you mean about spoiler spans showing up in the email notification. Actually, when I went to edit this comment, it shows up in the comment edit/reply interface! Just not in the default layout, apparently. OKAY, LJ, SERIOUSLY, STOP IT.

Well, maybe the maintenance will fix things...?

But...if you're already using the native one, then I don't know what to suggest!
I have been seeing the fugly-ass narrow comment bars for a week or more now and it's horrible. It really makes me want to not read anything on LJ, because it's not just ugly, but makes it much more difficult to read.

If it's screwing up Greasemonkey, then they definitely changed something in the code that is causing random fuckups all over the place. I am, admittedly, not surprised at this turn of events, beyond the usual faint boggling that an actual company with actual paid staff is run this badly. *g*
I've had everything set to "view in own style" for awhile now, and it's not doing the ugly comment bars for me, so I've been able to ignore it on most posts. But, yeah, it's awful. Between that, and comment threads now collapsing at 40 comments rather than fifty, I've been choosing to do more reading/commenting on DW simply because I don't want to deal with LJ's interface snafus anymore. It's possible that most of the weirdness is due to cramped server space, and the server maintenance they're doing tonight may fix it, but sloooowwwwly but surely it's getting to the point where I'd just rather not deal with it anymore.

I'm not sure if it's a deliberate thing so much as just increasingly not bothering to support older styles and older and/or non-mainstream browsers. Which I find very annoying in general, but I can't really hate LJ for doing something that most of the sites I visit have been doing (or, well, it's more accurate to say that I just hate all of them equally *g*). It's very irritating to have something work and work and then suddenly break, though.

As for the comment display, it happens in ?format=light and in the old site schemes, yes. They've said they're looking into it.
I've not noticed anything bizarre with the thread expander, though - it works fine for me.
