the behavior depends on imageMarkerOptionSplit

if it is not given (default) all images are rendered to ###NEWS_IMAGE###. 
If it is given the image numbering sheme changes from ###NEWS_IMAGE### to
the markers with an appended number ###NEWS_IMAGE_x###
both can't be used in one template.
the new SINGLE2 template uses the numbered markers - means: it expects
imageMarkerOptionSplit to contain something.

strange

the recommanded way is to set the singlePid in Constant editor and not in
flexforms.

as said before: Constants

the default behavior of the backpid changed, because I added
dontUseBackPid = 1
to the default setup which is also a strongly recommended option because it
prevents many problem with realurl, double search results in indexed_search
and so on.

don't get the point. where would you configure catpidlist ?
