Okay, I've figued out my problem for item 2. For some reason the array version of preg_replace won't work. It matches the expressions, but then substitutes an empty string instead of the corresponding replacement string. Calling preg_replace with strings works so I'm using that. I don't understand why it's suddenly become a problem with 1.8.2 where it was working nicely under 1.8.1. I've made no other changes to my setup other than the tiki upgrade and I've seen the problem on two different systems (one upgraded via tarball, the other via rpm).
