They've acknowledged that at http://status.aws.amazon.com/ for awhile now with a tiny "i" status icon (I can't load my instances pane):

12:07 PM PDT We are experiencing elevated error rates with the EC2 Management Console.



Amazon misrepresents reality on this status page!

They have standardized icons to represent various levels of issues (orange = perf issue, red = disruption). But they don't even use them. Instead they add [i] to the green icons to indicate perf issues (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - N. Virginia) and disruptions of service (Amazon Relational Database Service - N. Virginia).

Maybe this status page is controlled by marketing bozos who want to pretend the situation is not so bad.
