Thanks for the test. Could you post the amount of memory you have on the computers you tried ? All the message on the screen are "normal" (mean I have the same on my Virtualbox). I'll be interesting to test with a daily build of Ubuntu, to see if you have the same problems.
Maximus and window-picker-applet are not really tested and integrated on LXDE. They could work, but I don't think the result will be equivalent than on UNE. For the autohide panel, I think it's more a feature than a bug. Other ways to do it are not nicer : - Reserve a space on the top of the desktop, which is ugly when the panel is hidden. - Hide icons on the desktop when panel come back.
