I think controversy is the wrong word; there are certainly many issues and debates at every level, and in every facet, of evolution beyond just behavior. There are debates over statistical analysis, testability of phylogenies, inferences from fossils, and even debates over the very definition of species themselves, to name a few.
ps. Evolution, like any theory, has a certain weight, or inertia, to it. People tend to only see a theory's momentum across time, but don't realize that it dies at the alter of observation daily. Or they do know that a theory is always adjusting to the evidence, but don't realize the adjustment is mandated by its wrong predictions. There is a certain blindness to the faults of evolution that I think is unfortunate.
