Before I radar these as bugs, I though I'd see if anyone has any comments. Maybe I misunderstand something.

I agree that these are all bugs, and appreciate you taking the time to list them. Personally, I abandoned the various -presentAlert... methods and wrote my own presentError: method in my own custom alert class, which also happily replaces the feature-poor NSAlert (which has since been somewhat improved in 10.5).

I believe you should file your bugs.  If you want to, add in these:

(1) Those alerts should have a "Copy to Clipboard" button which would copy a description of the entire NSError, including the userInfo. Users love to click that and paste into their support request emails. I stole this idea from somewhere. I think it was BBEdit.

(2) The boldface font in those dialogs is too big and ugly, and the explanatory text is too small. Sometimes I have several sentences which are actually important for the user to read.
