1. It's not just the goblin's effect - bleeding itself recovers over time (depending on Endurance in the latest build). If you check your status after a battle you got heavy bleed, you'll see some of it has already recovered, but it still persists and you need to rest or use bandages to clear it.
2. We've increased XP requirements in a few ways in the latest builds.
3. Haven't seen that one yet, let me know if you manage to reproduce it.
We definitely plan to have a minotaur girl - main reason we haven't added it to the surveys is because it's one of those that are guaranteed to win (and we'd rather do the less obvious stuff first so people have something to look forward to).
We'll tweak the event flags for when the text script plays, when the sound occurs, and when the images change. There's probably a bunch of times where it would be better if we moved one of those flags backward or forward by one.
