I'm not certain that they're bugs yet and not just misuse!  But I will keep this in mind as I work them out.

A couple of these do appear under Win32 with minor changes to the tests.  I'll work out these details before submitting any bugs.

It very likely is.  The issue with vtkPlot->SetLabel blanking the name in the legend is new to 5.6.8, however; and this is certainly reproducible with the tests.

I'm using C++/CLI to wrap my use of the VTK lib into managed/.NET code, then placing these onto a Windows form.  Again, no issues at all with the 5.6.1 release in this setting.  So it's likely that it's a bad build or something I've entirely overlooked.
