I'm only observing the last issue on my H300 (hdd performing an emergency park when entering bootloader usb), otherwise the bootloader is working fine for me. Linus once posted a test bootloader, which reversed the effect on my H300 (no emergency park when entering bootloader usb, but an emergency park during normal boot), which was much more annoying. There's another issue with the v5 bootloader (which also affects the v6 bootloader for h1x0): it doesn't have the CF fixes. I'm not using my H300 for real, just for testing, but then I still don't like the idea of potentially bricking it without having a safety net (aka bdm wiggler + required software and instructions).
