-in the last while some sites are altering ads to look like the rest of the posts so they are not being filtered out
-emails from newspapers contain ads which are not being filtered out
Are these issues being reviewed?

Reviwed by who? I don't think this is an issue with the ABP extension :P
You are seeing the ads because you and your subscription don't have filters made to block those specifically.
