I've contacted Renzo Cammpagna, he will take a look
at the remaining discrepancies.

Moves don't look so difficult to me. Example, a gammon-go
player will
favour the play that wins more gammons even if it's
an error of let's say 0.050.
In a similar manner, a hitter could favor hitting
plays even if they are light
errors. Dually, you have gammon-safe players and non-hitting
players.
A bit more complicate are stlyes related to pistion
classes: priming players,
blitzing players, backgame players.

For sure not a priority, but it would really bring
an unique feature to gnubg with
respect to Snowie and BGBlitz, on top of making playing
gnubg world class a bit
less frustratnig :)

Agreed. Why not marking and rolling out all marked
ones, with an option
"mark all errors above xxx" ?
