Multiclassing monks

I assume that the monk multiclassing restriction still applies (once you take another class, you can't go back to monk). Since multiclassing is even further restricted in PFS, does this mean that a monk who takes a level in anything else must take it in their race's favored class? I figure that taking it in anything else would make it such that the character would simply not be allowed to take a level in anything after the general multiclassing penalty started to show itself.

Well, since they're apparently willing to allow nonlawful monks, I'd say the sky's the limit!

Yes, I'm kidding. I was just amused by the sample monk being illegal.

The revised guide has fixed that (and all of the other errors I've seen mention of.)

That seems self-evident to me from reading the Player's Guide. The easiest fix being to play a Human or Half-Elf Monk. Otherwise to plan on being a Dwarven Monk/Fighter, Elven Monk/Wizard, Halfling Monk/Rogue, 1/2 Orc Monk/Barbarian, or a Gnome Monk/Bard.

I wouldn't plan on being this one, actually. ;)

If you change your alignment, you can play either a monk/ex-barbarian, or a ex-monk/barbarian. Speaking of that, what are the PFS rules on changing your alignment?
