Don't know if anyone else has seen this, but switching from popular to oldest for displaying comments is only working on the main comments in threads for me. Sub-reply chains still show newest first.
OS: Win 8 x64
Browser: IE10 desktop/full
On a sidenote, can there be a profile setting created to remember the popular/oldest choice? It resetting when I login is a pain.

By design. The sort option specifically says "Comment sorting.." Replies always are in a most recent first, reply order. Only the comment posts are affected by the sort setting.

I haven't noticed that, but I know that when posting in Oldest First mode it always puts it up at the top. Refreshing the page will put it in it's proper place. Hopefully that can shed a teensy bit of light on your problem.
