I once worked at a company whose wikis used a WYSIWYG editor (can't remember if it was FCKeditor or TinyMCE).
The one thing that /really/ irked me was Template development. Those editors have a tendency to add and manipulate whitespace in places you may not intend, the result being broken bulleted lists, uninterpreted template parameters, odd tables, etc.
I haven't looked into these editors recently, but I'd recommend making sure there's a way to turn them off either by user preference, interface toggle option, or on a per-Namespace basis.

Answering my own question: I found one destructive bug in the current "proof of concept" implementation. If FCKeditor encounters an unknown tag <foobar> in an edited page, and you save the article, the tag gets saved as <foobar>, making it not a tag anymore.
