It's great you like the interaction improvements.
Regarding the language data, the ULS consumes data from the collection of language-related info that was based on the CLDR and put together by the Language Engineering team in https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.uls/blob/master/data/langdb.yaml
I'm not a linguist, so I relied in the 466 language names defined there. There are probably bugs in the data, and also rarities that may seem bugs to our eyes but are not according to each language writing rules (some scripts do not even have capitals). By filling bugs for the detected problems, the info will probably arrive to the Language Engineering team members with more information to determine the nature of each specific case.

Overall these changes are awesome and ULS is coming along beautifully, but I agree with Timo on the upper/lower case issue.
Sentence context is different from title/list view, in the latter it
should
be ucfirst'ed unconditionally (like we do in interwiki lists), whether to use the ucfirst algorithm of the interface language or the language name
is
another but it should be ucfirst.
+1. Please use sentence case in lists to make them scannable and aesthetically pleasing :).
Similarly, I don't see why "français" should be lower-case in the menu after the language is selected. Every other menu item in the UI has the first letter capitalized, regardless of in-sentence word case.
