I guess I'm the closest we have to a MysterX maintainer. Unfortunately, my answer for question 1 is "I don't know". For the other two, I can only say "that sounds like a bug".
MysterX was created prior to the current FFI, and re-implementing it is probably a good idea --- if we can find a volunteer. So much of MysterX's work is in marshaling and unmarshaling datatypes, and all of that would be far easier with the current Racket-based FFI (instead of in C). Also, the old constraint that MysterX windows must use a separate thread and event queue no longer applies with the GUI-library rewrite, so that would be another major simplification. I'm not sure about the DHTML part; it might require a little C++ stub, or it might work out fine from Racket.
