I have the same two problems, except I got the message "Save resolution..." twice: here is a short clip; message also appears when video settings are opened right after a restart (while Pi is restarting TV and receiver are switched on and TV's active input is the receiver).
I did see this yesterday and have pushed a potential patch. I didn't see the corrupt refresh rate visible in the video (which I have seen before), so it may not be the only issue. But try again after next build appears.
BTW, do you plug the Pi into different displays? I have a feeling that the issue occurs when the preferred resolution/refresh written to guisettings.xml changes.

Is it better when fullscreen (press tab and wait for "Now playing" to disappear)?
Is it better with visualisation disabled?

What is you "number of channels set to"? You only get the LFE mapped in "N.1" layouts. If you downmix to 2.0, then LFE is (deliberately) not mapped.

That is receiver (or TV) locking time. If "Keep audio device alive" is enabled and the output is the same format, then you will get no gap.
If the output is a different format then you will get a gap.
Basically if number of channels or sampling rate changes, then receiver (or TV) will need to resync and may produce a gap. That's unavoidable.
The only solution is to change "output configuration" to fixed, and enable stereo upmix. Now all audio will be resampled/upmixed to the fixed format,
and receiver/TV won't have to resync. This setting is probably undesirable due to increased CPU load, extra resampling, and it doesn't let receiver upmix (which may be able to do a better job).
