Yes; No.  This is now fixed in CVS.

As for edits to helper functions disappearing, I think this is an 
infelicity (perhaps) rather than a bug.  When you've made changes 
to the helper function, click the save icon in its edit window. 
Then to save the changes to the _package_, click the Save button 
in the main packager window.  I've tried experimenting with this 
and it seems to work OK.
