I would say you guess is quite good.
I had the same as you described in the second point some years ago (already 
with Replicant 6.3).
I figured out that it only happened with 3G, hence setting the preference to 2G 
was a quick
workaround. Since I knew that it had worked before and I switched the hardware 
(another i9300)
my best guess was that it has to be caused by an older or more buggy baseband 
firmware.
If I remember correctly updating that one fixed the issue. You may check your 
baseband firmware
revision. Mine is 'I9300XXUGNA8'.
Updating the baseband needs Windows tools, at least as far as I know. But 
perhaps there are
alternatives.
