Just a question: did you play with the following settings?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ;; show full hierarchy when revealing a location
  (setq org-show-hierarchy-above t)

  ;; don't show following heading when revealing a location
  (setq org-show-following-heading nil)

  ;; don't show all sibling headings when revealing a location
  (setq org-show-siblings nil)

  ;; show the entry below a headline when revealing a location
  ;; (setq org-show-entry-below t)
  (setq org-show-entry-below '((org-goto . t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do they impact or resolve some of the things you consider as bugs?

Best regards,
  Seb
