Both of these problems are caused by the same thing: your request is going through either an internal redirect (subrequest) or an external redirect, and this is causing all the rules to be applied again. We don't have enough details to figure out why this is happening. The RewriteLog would certainly help. You can tell mod_rewrite not to reprocess rules on internal redirects using the [NS] flag.
