Beta implies: IF your using this in a production environment your a fool..
Absolutely! I was always taught that you test betas in a test environment. Once they move into RC (release candidate) you would move on to a "reference machine" to see if it plays nice with your other applications.

Then you go to UAT (user acceptance testing) which is typically done in an instance of the users' training environment.

Personally, I shan't be testing this until they move onto a version of the rendering agent that is not known to be vulnerable.
