I shouldn't admit this, but I actually prefer it (even though Prokofiev himself didn't!). ;-)
Follow Ups:
I think it destroys the spirit and flow of the movement and the overall arc of the symphony. But that's just me. :-)

You're right that the "happy" ending doesn't fit as well with the mood of the symphony's opening (i.e., in the first movement), so in that sense, an overall arc is made very clear (going back to the slower, haunting opening). But, OTOH, it does fit better with the main idea of the last movement. Actually, I like both endings - but maybe the happy ending just a bit more. And besides, Prokofiev HAD to write that happy ending because he needed the money from the Stalin Prize! ;-)
