This is really two questions:
What are the know bugs in the boot floppies version of BusyBox
that are fixed in the latest and greatest?
A fairly long list, as the boot-floppies version of BusyBox split
from my development tree about 1/2 way through the 0.43 release.
The current changelog may be helpful in answering this question.

What bugs in the current boot-floppies BusyBox need to be fixed?
Probably just the tar bug. Other things, such as Bug #64576
are not really critical.
