Documentation is improved now.

This also works now.

I cannot see why this would be useful.  Sentence commands will
also not work with the other bullet styles.  Note that you can
use C-a in combination with an appropriate setting of
`org-special-ctrl-a/e' to jump to the beginning of an item,
after the bullet.  I use the setting `reversed'.

Might be nice, but this is too much trouble, because of
technical reasons (implementation is hard-coded in
several places...)

Yes, if the bullet starts at the left margin, the cycling
skips the * bullet type, to avoid confusion with headlines.
This was broken for the left-cycling.  Works now.

Thanks for your report.....

And don't forget to try the new ido support in Org:

(setq org-completion-use-ido t)
