Yeah...I remember him talking about that, too. I'd be curious to know which sites he was visiting.
And it may be that Ranka hate has merely died down. I dunno.

He's listed for "scripting assistance" and the credit comes immediately before the "THANKS TO MACROSS ZERO STAFF" credit. So yeah.

By this stage, the cast recordings for all of the episodes would definitely have been completed, so yes, I dare say they were all aware of future developments in the series.
I'd hazard a guess that they see Ranka's decisions not to be used as a tool, and to leave Frontier as part of her DECISIVE character. I don't know whether they'll ever touch on it again (the relevant episodes don't have any commentary...) but we'll see when we get there.

That's a good point...I think the problem is not that Ranka is indecisive...she's not. I think it's just that she's decisive about things that her detractors wish she weren't decisive about.
