Just minutes after posting my last message I received another email from Adobe confirming that engineering is working on fixes to all 3 bugs I've encountered while dealing with .NET web services. They've assured me that they'll be fixed in the first update release for Flex 2 and possibly even sooner via a hotfix.
It really is encouraging to see Adobe's willingness and ability to make improvements and ensure Flex is as rock solid as possible. Thanks Adobe!
