1.30D is absolutely fine. It works as it should especially the bread-and-butter features like recording. Play trigs stopping recording trigs? Nope. Start of sampling without recording trigs? Nope (or better: only when sending special midi notes as listed in the manual). It operates as it should.
So beside the known bugs (pre-sliced buffers, quirks with parts and the one found lately by @sezare56 about CCs getting recorded when they shouldn’t), everything is fine.
So I wouldn’t read too much into these reports until they are reproducible on other machines with fresh projects, too.
