You are not alone...  I have the same issue with My M-Audio Axiom Pro keyboard.   It has built in control surface tools too.
It (Logic9) seems to drop the connection the faders during automation recording. Very frustrating.  Only way I get around it is to keep moving the faders continuously a little to that it thinks there is constant action and keeps them connected.  Then I have the annoying job of going back over the automation and cleaning up any little bumps or dips and excessive marker points.

I have reported this to m-audio but but not got a response yet..   I wondered if there is some timeout setting somewhere but don't really know where.

M-audio Axiom Pro comes with Hypercontrol which automatically makes the necessary connections so I can't help with your other problems sorry.  
Hypercpntrol seems to work great  I just get annoyed with the fader dropping issue.
