That was quite detailed analysis so I tried to replicate it.

This is the input file (I only added a first blank line and a dummy heading):

I did a C-c C-e L to export to tex and following is what I got:

It does not exhibit any of the three issues you listed.  I have no clue why it
works for me so I checked my latex export related settings but there's nothing
interesting there.  Now I know none of this helps you but thought I would add
a data point.  May be someone else can try too?
