This sounds very much like a bug if I read other users's experience with LR4.1

Any chance you could try again and maybe try more situtations to see whether it occurs always?

Simonsaith, will this get addressed in LR4.1, or is the turning off the sharpening a method to try to fix the speed issues?

For me, it was fast enough with sharpening being adjusted in real time.

seems like a very unprofessionell fix too me if this is really because of the speed issues some people have.

The most annoying thing is that the sharpening does not get rendered even if you let go the the slider (e.g Exposure) — I have to move the mouse off the slider.

Yes, it seems to turn sharpening off when you move a slider, and keep it off while the mouse is over the slider.  Once you move the mouse off the slider, sharpening is rendered after about half a second.  I think it would be better to render after half a second of no slider movement even if the mouse is still over the slider. 

Agree with others. Waiting for the adjustments to take place until I release the mouse is a no show. Simply not acceptable.

Is there a way, we process a claim (if not done already) so that Adobe knows that this is NOT acceptable ?

After upgrading from 4.0 beta to 4.1 RC i can confirm that sharpening is removed from the image as long as you use a silder from the basic panel. You have to move the cursor off the slider area to see the sharpening re-applied. Everything else works fine here, also no speed problems. I hope the effect of the sharpening-remove will be corrected or we get at least an option in the preferences where we can set this "on" or "off", if this is really wanted for speed-improvement.
