yup. me too. the end marker generally seems to do the right thing with 
audio regions, but you can really confuse ardour with automation tracks 
- often, rogue automation points occur after the session end (a long way 
after it in fact), and to get rid of them, one has to drag the end 
marker waaayyy off to include them again - only then can they be deleted.

yup, seen that too, but not reproducibly. seems to be related to midi 
bindings here, iirc, it only happens with parameters that have a 
controller bound to it.

seen that too, and i'm pretty sure it's no intentional feature. again, 
it usually happens during complex sessions, and most of the time, ctrl-z 
fixes it.
