After updating udev to 107, during startup and shutdown I get numerous (over 100) messages similar to the following: udevd-event[3543]: run_program: exec of program '/lib/udev/udev_run_devd' failed

udev-107 does install a rules-file with commented entry to execute udev_run_devd in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. So it is NOT run by default (and is no longer installed with udev-107). Perhaps you forgot to update your conf-files by etc-update/dispatch-conf.
As said above, the rules entry is commented out, so it definitely doesn't get run if you upgrade udev properly.
(In reply to comment #2) > As said above, the rules entry is commented out, so it definitely doesn't get > run if you upgrade udev properly. Same problem here.
