Yeah, someone mentioned something similar elsewhere in the thread and it certainly makes sense to me. It fits in with the comparison to Miracast, the need for hardware support for full screen mirroring over AirPlay. I can see the adapter processing a stream in a similar format or some such as AirPlay (without being a classic "AirPlay receiver" which is what I was hung up on) For your two points: 1. I think that comes with the territory of being a Lightnin accessory and makes sense if they're doing some sort of compression or something before hand. It certainly fits with Apple's persona. Control the content, don't let any-old-body create a video adapter. They have to deal with Apple's handshake/stream/whatever because Apple doesn't pin-out the HDMI for the Lightning connector... 2. That is a major bummer and seems like one of those "details" that Apple would get right. I'm certainly curious the more I think about it as well.
