Hi Julian,
regarding issue 1, you are on the well worn path to realising that a dry sump set-up is, on a total ownership cost and aggravation-minimisation basis, the only way to go. This is such a common progression, and apart from having the engine live longer you get to drop it 2 inches for improved CG. I have lost count of how many bearing replacements and sump revisions, and accusump band-aids I've mucked around with - never again.
regarding issue 2, I think it is highly likely that your fuel system is the cause. Datalog fuel pressure, then you'll know for sure. Another possibility is that your wiring and/or ignition components have a bad connection somewhere that only shows up when they experience lateral accel.
Good luck!
