Hmmm, a bug that I haven't seen mentioned is the inaccurate population
statements.  I think this might have happened in HoMM1 also, but I
don't remember.  Anyway, it says "Plague!  Population growth is halved"
and there is no population growth at all.  Also it sometimes says
"Population growth is doubled" but the growth is normal.

Seems to me like the Necro populations should double with the plague
and half with the life growth anyway. :)

Also I noticed that in the campaign game you never get more random
monsters when a particular monster type grows extra like in HoMM1.
I've seen this happen in the scenarios but to a lesser extent than I
remember them.  I'm pretty sure this isn't a "bug" though. :)
