Thanks for reporting your experiences.
You're good at finding builds that aren't even announced :).

That last SoaS-on-XO build that was publicised was based on F11. This
one (and recent ones) are based on Rawhide. So I expect there to be
more bugs, rather than fewer, in the short term.

I experienced this as well. No idea why.

This is expected and not a problem.

It's on Fedora, and SugarLabs is upstream of OLPC. So it would be
more usual to say "OLPC's distribution of GNU/Linux with Sugar is
F11-based, and SoaS is F12-based". If you drew a graph to try to find
"fork"s you might find it hard to usefully define that term:
0.82 0.84 0.86
Sugar -------O-------------O--------O-----------> Sugar HEAD
\ \ \
----> ----> ---->
| | |
F11 ---------oO-o--O-------------------|------> F11 HEAD
| \ |
| ------------------|------> OLPC HEAD
| |
F12 ----------|------------------------o-O----> F12 HEAD
| |
SoaS ----------o--------------------------o----> SoaS HEAD
\ \
---> Strawberry ---> Blueberry
O = branch point
o = merge point ("landing" a branch on another codeline)
| = connection between branch and merge point
