Oracle 12c is not supported with NetBackup yet, but we have tried in the lab (7.5.0.6 and 7.1.0.4) and so far we cannot get it to fail. Maybe the basic functionality with RMAN is the same and only "new features" of 12c will require a NetBackup update.
Has anyone else had experience or issues with Oracle 12c backup/recovery ?

No experience myself as I dont tend to get involved in unsupported configurations but I wonder if it will still work with 7.6 in view of the changes in the Oracle agent for 7.6?
I would imagine Oracle 12 support is not far away - but then we said that about Windows 2012!

Good thing you are only testing in a lab... until such time as Symatec supports this version officially...
Are you testing backups only? Or restores as well?

In additional tests with 7.5.0.6 master, 7.1.0.2 and 7.5.0.6 clients, every 12c restore has been successful so far.
We are only using the basic backup and restore through RMAN, we have not tested the new 12c CDB "container" multitenancy features, etc.
Support for backup/restore through RMAN with the current NBU 7.5 version would be great!

7.5 has pretty much finished now - 7.5.0.7 is the last release so there will only be EEB's from now on
This means there will be no new features for 7.5 such as extra oracle support or vCenter 5.5 - only fixes
Any additional support will only come in future releases of 7.6
