You can still skip chapters by swiping up or down, you just can't see the markers since there's no progress bar. (I still kinda wish there was)

I don't have a Touch, so cannot answer the question. But keep in mind that it's the publisher that decides whether or not to include chapter markers. Before blaming the Touch, you would need to check the same book on an older device.
The Touch can be blamed. It definately doesn't show chapter marks even if they're there and would show up on other Kindle models (but does follow the marks for chapter skipping).

With KF8, the line-height bug is there in firmware 5.1.0. So why duplicate the same bug in firmware 4.1.0?

That shows a lack of communication and a lack of listening to the customers.
