Something's definitely wrong there. Either it failed to make the data.img correctly, or it got corrupted. I have no idea why that would continue happening, but I'm fairly certain it's where your problems stem from.

Subsequently, I think power management is a very important area to look at. I haven't done any coding or any extensive *nix in probably 5-7 yrs, but I generally pick things up almost instantaneously, so if someone could hook me up with the source code for this, I'd love to collaborate in an effort to get this working properly for everyone. (Can't promise I'll be of much use though, haha)

The dimming backlight issue has to do with automatic backlight dimming being enabled in windows mobile before you boot. It confuses Android.
We'd love to have more people working on it, so come on aboard. (People who can program C and know about low level drivers would be even better; but, hey, we can all learn.) There are instructions in
the wave about how to get the source with git, modify it to boot on CDMA, and compile it. That all assumes you have a working linux environment to work with, but that's not too tough (get virtualbox, install ubuntu on a VM, apt-get install git). If you've got questions about building, ask them over there, so we can make that as complete a source for information as possible.
To answer your other questions:
GPS is a fairly long way away, I think. Not working on CDMA or GSM devices.
I'm not sure about the Hero source, but the big issues now are more to do with the specifics of the raphael board than the chipset, so the amount of overlap is probably, disappointingly, less than expected.
And, actually, you can throw everything into an 'android' folder on the sdcard (not sure if capitalization matters), and you don't even have to change anything in your startup.txt. It's setup this way in the init script. I just learned this recently.
