A second issue that has been raised on the wiki is the poor quality of math in PDFs generated from articles. The math shows up as a low-quality bitmap which is very pixelated and noticeably different from the body text. I wanted to pass it along to the list.

There's an entry in Bugzilla for this; which was initially closed: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27574
I've gone ahead and re-opened it as it would be nice to fix, but it'll actually need fixing in PediaPress's mwlib renderer that's used as the backend for the Collection extension and actually generates the PDFs.
There's some notes on the bug about possible implementation details.
