I had a blow out in my wyeast 3787 starter. Created a mess. Other than that, anything to be concerned about?
 
Still plenty of yeast in suspension, you should be fine. Was it a still starter or on a stir plate? What size vessel and what volume?

I'd just be concerned about sanitation, but all those yeast will out-compete most other microbes anyway.

- nope

What size vessel and what volume?

- vessel was 4 liters; volume was just a hair shy of 2 L
 
I always get great results boiling and fermenting in my 2L starter using Fermcap S foam control, never a boil over or blow out
