For 1, yeah, it probably didn’t get moved forward because the maintainer wasn’t active at the 10.6 -> 10.7 transition (and probably still isn’t), and there weren’t any complaints.

For 2, I’m honestly not sure.  I’m guessing the issue was that the validator complained about unversioned dylibs in a package that didn’t declare BuildDependsOnly: false.  If nothing builds against regina’s libraries, then you can use BuildDependsOnly: false along the private library syntax in the Shlibs field to suppress some of the validator strictness—though you might still need to futz around with install_name_tool to put an absolute path in.
