Hey RB!
I couldnt tell from my observation if it had split, but i do get emails sent from the Yahoo comet group that there has been splitting going on!
It went through an outburst last month and has brightened to naked eye visibility but unfortunately us southerners didnt get a chance to see it at all until now, it is fading.

Maik Meyer emailed the group and i get the new emails sent to my address, in his email it said "IAUC 8772 reports the detection of a "detached-coma feature located 3".4 from the
nuclear condensation of comet C/2006 M4 (corresponding to 2700 km
at a geocentric distance of 1.10 AU)"

There was some pics posted as well from other members....
