Hi, Peter - The latest edition of Rise Up Singing does a pretty good job of correcting #1 and #2, but #3 is beyond their control. There have been many editions of the book since it first came out in 1988. Editors Peter Blood and Annie Patterson soon realized the error of their ways, and did away with most of the bowdlerizations early on. Chords took much longer to fix, but the chords in the latest edition of the book are much less aggravating than those in the first edition.
This time, they're trying to do it right the first time around, so they have a big team of people doing proof reading and other corrections before the book goes to press. No doubt there will be mistakes, but it's starting to look pretty good.
