Err, I don't think we're really disagreeing on much here... Yes Madoka wasn't properly explained, yes she should have been, and yes that is no way to write a main character. I perfectly agree on all that. The only distinction I'm making is that it wasn't such a big deal to me that it was damning; I'm willing to forgive it, because we at least got something beyond the writers saying, "That's just how it is; suck it up and deal with it." But yes, I would have liked something better, and there should have been something better in a show like this. There's no denying that.
