I have not looked at all the structures with problems, but I don't see
anything here that's overly alarming.

The aromaticity cases you refer to as "wrong" match the RDKit
definition of aromaticity : the ring c1nc(=O)cc[nH]1 is conjugated and
has 6 pi electrons (0 from the C with the extracyclic double bond to
O, 2 from the NH, 1 from the other atoms), so it's considered
aromatic.

Structure 11 contains the substructure CN1=C[NH]N=C1, which contains a
4-coordinate neutral nitrogen in a non-aromatic ring. This is not
considered a valid valence state for the N, so the RDKit won't process
the molecule.

Best Regards,
