I've never had an oil leak with the reservoir closed. The design does seem odd, but the lid closed very tightly so it works well enough for me.

I've not had an issue with oil leaking (40v version with the other body style), but agree that it's an odd design. It closed very tightly though, such that it require a screw driver to unscrew the first 1/8th turn. I wonder if people aren't sealing it tightly to avoid the difficulty with opening it again later.
As far as chains jumping off, that is likely due to the chain not being tightened often enough. Chains stretch and it's a good idea to tighten again after about 1 minute of actual cutting on a new chain. Again after a couple more minutes, and periodically after that. It super easy and takes less than a minute on my model, using the provided double ended tool. This model looks similar.
A properly tight chain will also cut better. Aside from that, it's possible to wrench a chain off by twisting while cutting, and quite easy of you're cutting through 2 different pieces of wood at the same time. However, even that won't happen easily if the chain is properly tightened.
Getting caught up or just stopping, yes, that happens. I think that it related somewhat to the protections for the electric motor. If you push it, it will kick off more and more frequently. It's likely these are lower powered than a similar gas model, so more likely to catch, but the benefits of the electric model pretty well outweigh this for me.
The other thing about getting caught up is that debris will catch up under the chain cover, particularly when it's wet (and of course, live wood is inherently a bit wet.) That will dramatically increase the rate of stoppage. If this is a issue, clean out really good under the cover. That will also give the motor a short cool down break, if needed, and force you to retension the chain.
That is different from the chain getting pinched by the wood shifting 'closed', though I think the two issues interplay.
Honestly, I've abused mine pretty thoroughly. I had to replace the bar once because I bent the nose of it. I've profoundly overheated it (wouldn't start again for 4 or 5 hours)... only once, but that's a big deal for an electric motor. I mean, a chainsaw is going to have a rough life be definition and most of my GW stuff is 5 star, but I'm quite impressed with the version of this tool that I have.

Agreed, no avoiding the mess. The oil is a big contributor to the inside of the cover getting clogged, but it's necessary.
I actually hang mine vertically, chain end down, over concrete and no issues. I guess I've been lucky.
I believe you're to late.
Some deals ought to pop up for BF/CM. There will likely be deals where the combo is around the cost of the included battery alone.
