I updated my EQ6 a couple weeks back and I've only got out with it 3 times so far. I can't vouch for whether or not the polar correction is accurate, other than to say my 2-star alignment the other night kept putting objects in the centre of the FOV for 6 hours the other night (before packing up).

For me, after I've picked the PA star it slews to it, I centre it, then it slews away and prompts me to make the altitude and then azimuth correction to centre the star again. As in the user guide, I the realigned.

It does dance around the target object a couple of times, seems to be worse with the 3-star alignment but I only tried that once. 2-star seemed to be doing the business.
