Robert, Firstly I will confirm your observations. These are not bugs but simply the way the program works. If an Event is linked to several individuals, and pictures are linked to the Event, then the pictures will appear for each individual. When you think about it, that is actually what you have told the program to do. I would suggest that you take a look at the Publishing Center and consider adding Picture Scrapbooks, on separate pages, at appropriate sections of your book. This will enable one to select pictures relevant to specific individuals. It may not be the perfect option for you, but maybe the best available.
