1. Text windows sometimes get black "garbage" on the background that

The size of the "garbage" is about 1 character, and looks like an
"island". That is, neither meaningful symbol, nor random pattern.
There are known race conditions in the soft cursor code (not just on
the pi). Could the black island be a "mouse dropping"?
Yes, that's "mouse droppings" :-).
2. When writing large files to an USB memory stick FAT file system
(say,
a large TAR archive), the mount is lost, leading to a truncated file.
Try putting the memory stick on a powered usb hub and see if that works
better.
I did, and for this reason I suspect the USB driver and not the power
supply.
