Check the JS console to see if any errors are produced. Clicking the + 
should add a new text box, and clicking the - should remove a box. If 
existing lists are not being populated, I suppose it's possible that the 
existing data are not stored correctly in the field. It might help to pack 
and attach a minimal app that reproduces the problem.

Well, in addition to bringing new features, upgrades typically include bug 
and security fixes, but if none of those matter to you, then of course you 
don't have to upgrade. Really, though, is it that much extra work to 
manually copy a couple of extra files? I think it's not done automatically 
because technically there does not have to be a fixed name or location for 
the app files (e.g., you could move or rename web2py.js or combine it with 
other JS files and minify). Upon upgrade, the only file you really have to 
worry about is web2py.js (i.e., because that works in conjunction with 
markup and CSS classes generated by the framework, things might break 
without the proper version). Old versions of appadmin.py and appadmin.html 
(and the generic views) should continue to work, though you may be missing 
new functionality or bug fixes if you don't upgrade those.
