Please do not write me directly. That's in fact a general rule for open-source projects: You should use the 
project support mechanism, which in the case of gtk-osx is a mailing list, gtk-osx-users-list gnome org  I'm 
ccing the list with this reply for your convenience. Please subscribe to the list at 
https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-osx-users-list
to continue the conversation

Bugs should be reported at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?&component=mac-integration&product=gtk%2B 
-- that's product gtk+ and component mac-integration.

For item 1, please test with quartz but without gtkosx_application; if the problem persists, file a bug 
against gtk with component quartz, otherwise with component mac-integration.

You can file a bug against item 2 as well (mac-integration), but I'm not sure if I can fix it. The app menu 
is fiddly and much of its behavior is controlled by Cocoa and isn't documented. Enabling and disabling items 
on it might just be something to avoid.

Item 3 is a known bug that's being actively worked on: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701571

Item 4: Seems of rather limited utility. You can easily wrap a shell script that does this around 
gtk-mac-bundler.
