I went back to your list, and I think all of them now have solutions.

 1. Option order changes the behaviour. "git log -E --author" ...

Jeff fixed this when he did "log -i --author".

 2. ... --author='@iki.fi>$'

$gmane/94900 would be a fix; needs commit log, documentation and tests.

 3. ... -F (--fixed-strings) when combined with --author= ?

We just talked about it; the patch should go to 'maint' with tests.

 4. Logical AND/OR operation. ... combined together do not limit ...

$gmane/94953 look for --all-match.
