A link to a random chapter, instead of to the story as a whole. Using the chapter URL still downloads the whole story, but it's still odd.
That's a feature that was deliberately added by one of the other devs. I don't recall the exact reasoning anymore, but as long as it still works for everybody else, I'm prepared to live with slightly unsightly URLs.

Correct. The Get Story URLs from Web Page isn't site specific like story downloading.

However, it does already have some code specifically for AO3 to login to see mature links. I will look into duplicating that for FimF.

That is the default epub behavior, yes. Most ereader devices that I've tested with have small screens, only accept JPGs and don't like transparency.

However, you can turn that off in personal.ini with:
Code:
[epub]
## This switch prevents FanFicFare from doing any processing on the images.
## Usually they would be converted to jpg, resized and optionally made
## grayscale.
no_image_processing: true
