I'm pretty sure the blockquote not being indented in previews thing is already in bugzilla! (The problem will go away as we modernize more of the code that generates the site pages, which is a project people are working on.)
Having the second link behind the cut in the event of HTML/CSS our HTML cleaner doesn't like is actually By Design, since for safety's sake we just slap a <cut> in at the point of breakage and everything past that stays behind the cut. (ie, we don't close the cut that we add). I mean, we probably could put in a </cut> tag before the second link, but it wouldn't do much good, since the second link isn't autolinkified. (Once you hit an invalid HTML error, the system stops auto-linking links.)
