"Feature interactions" is a really hard problem. It was a significant research field back in the 1990s just for telephone switching systems. It's easy enough to pick four or five things and make sure they don't interfere with each other, but the number of interactions goes up at least as the square of the number of features -- and sometimes you get more interactions than that, when feature A causes feature B to do something that interferes with feature C. The specific things you mention sound particularly egregious, though.
