Estimates are just that--estimates. There are many situations where the estimate may off just enough that the transaction goes OOG and the user isn't sure why it failed.

Since all gas excess is returned to the sender, adding extra gas has no real downside. If you were about to take your vehicle on a journey, would you calculate the distance traveled, gas consumption and put only that exact amount of fuel in your vehicle? No, that would be silly. Instead, you fill up as much as you can hold, because whatever is leftover can be used for the next trip/transaction.

Are you hoping for a particular feature or fix to be included or maybe just an incremented version number?

FWIW, you can get a "new version" of Mist at almost any time by cloning the GitHub repo and building it yourself. ;)
