I think that bug should be fixed with
latest build - although some further testing is needed.
My own experience is that my Bulldozer Hackintosh is finally running very stable & I am able to use all my software without any limitations.
People with other demands (software I am not using etc) may have a differing expierence - dunno...
Me too.
Anyway Intel is the better way to go, if you consider using OS X as your main operating system.
For example keep in your mind, that we may never be able to run Mountain Lion on our AMD machines (this ain't that unlikely for some reasons), any system update can cause problems i.e. depencies that cannot be solved until the source code for a new Kernel version is released (often some week after the release of the corresponding system update) etc.
Of course if your mainboard would support a Bulldozer upgrade (bios update etc) & you want to use Lion, this could be a "cheap at purchase" alternative.

1) The original lion finder will work out of the box, since the system will run at 64-bit? It's very annoying to resource to DP and path finders to get the work done;
|
Yes. 64-Bit software works.

2) 64-bit-only kexts and apps will work? The answer to this question may look obvious, but nothing in OsX86 is really the way it seems;
|
No 64-Bit kexts.
The Kernel is i386 only. Kernel Extensions made for X86_64 Kernel only will not work.

3) 32-bit apps will continue to work in 64-bit mode?
|
Yes but not 100% ootb.
Running 32-Bit software requires the SYSENTER opcode, which is not avaible on AMD CPUs in 64-Bit enabled system mode.
Sysenter traps have to be patched in dyld & libsystem_kernel.dylib for 32-Bit Apps to work in compatibility mode.

4) The core services and apps will stop being impossible to launch after x minutes from reboot? Another problematic point in lion with AMD;
|
Those problems are -legacy mode only.

5) The kernel will possibly work in a newer Piledriver CPU, since it's basically an enhanced Buldozer?
|
Most likely yes - of course: no warranty for anything related to those Kernel.
