I still don't get how ARP doesn't end up with it's knickers in a twist when DHCP gets involved. (release address and allocate a new one).

If things don't work out it gives up and tries arping the address again. If two hosts have the same IP, you're screwed of course, but that's your fault. You can usualy assume when you see a cache that the designers have figured out how to either keep the cache in sync with the actual data, or know how to deal with bad data.

Is there a specific question dealing with ARP? I've never heard of anyone having an actual problem with it.
