Paradise Lost bug (plus four more)
I'll start off with some minorish ones.

1. Oil won't light. I can only light it if I set someone on fire with it first, but I can't pour down some gas, then toss a match on it. It just doesn't work. This happens both in base P2Complete and Paradise Lost. (I see you're aware of this one already.)

2. On Wednesday in the base game, after voting, my mouse cursor becomes visible on my screen and doesn't go away without quitting the game and starting it back up again.

3. You know about this one already too, which is just general instability, particularly in Paradise Lost, resulting in seemingly random crashes.

4. If you get on the turret in the hideout in PL while having a usable item currently selected in the slot, pressing 'E' doesn't leave the turret, but uses the item. However, Postal Dude DOES move, so you can watch Postal Dude's two arms stretched out to the side walking away.

5. Now the big one... I'm going through Paradise Lost on POSTAL difficulty, attempting to get the final achievement for P2. When I left the chemical factory on Thursday, I had at least 10 catnip, maybe 11. So I go and kill Two-Ears, grab the catnip from the platform and I get... one. Are you ♥♥♥♥ing kidding me? The entire point of stocking up on catnip was to make the final row of boss fights more manageable, and not only do I lose almost all my catnip, but (1) I'd already bought Thursday's catnip, so I can't buy more until Friday (2) I spent money on catnip every day, $250 for three days, so there's $750 wasted that I can't use on other useful supplies. *sigh* I don't mean to sound like a♥♥♥♥♥♥ considering how much I adore this game and RWS, but I think it's fair to say that I'm quite♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥at this particular bug. Annoyingly, I can't just cheat them back without sacrificing my chance at the achievement, so I'll just have to deal without it, but still.

Edit: Thank God for the machete on the bosses. Seriously.

On the 2nd bug, instead of quitting the game, you can ctrl-alt-del and go back to the game.

I don't think that does anything more than just alt-tabbing would, would it? Because alt-tabbing doesn't resolve the problem for me either.

Switching your resolution should do the trick.

5 is still a bug and it sucks.

Damn, I forgot about all of this. Pretty cool necro, tbqh. Took me on a stroll down memory lane.

Sucks to hear 5 is still a problem. Is it just on POSTAL difficulty? I played the game a few months ago, and I don't think I had it occur then on whatever the normal difficulty is called, I forget.

Losing your catnip sucks on Thursday. I waited to be called, realized it was $1000, and had to go aggressive.
