First step is to retest all of above bugs. Many packers' related bugs have been fixed recently. Next step is to add tests to dlls/kernel32/tests/loader.c which mimic the PE images that the packers create. And a final step is to actually make the tests pass and fix the packers. -- Dmitry.
A SoC proposal for discussion: PE Packers
