Rev.C is probably due around November, it's not clear whether it will have updated OMAP3 silicon, though.
It may be of interest to know that both these issues are fixed in the Pandora, with one caveat: the host USB port only works in version 2.0 mode, so any 1.1-specific peripherals need to be attached through a 2.0 hub.

As Pandoras start shipping in november, it would be expected that the new rev. Beagles will have that silicon upgrade as well.
