Using a comparatively recent version of kicad (see below), I think many, if not all, of these issues are fixed.
I'm going to push the latest version to our layout tech and request confirmation - though I'm not able to reproduce the issues (and the performance seems to be comparable or better), they'll likely catch anything I missed.
For what it's worth, the differential router is being a bit more touchy; hitting 6 automatically toggles an error ("Can't start it in the middle of nowhere"), and you can't route over existing differential pairs the same way you can route/fix single ended pairs (ie; start from the middle, and then join up and have it delete the middle part). But that appears to be a separate bug.

Dear Seth,
