I have no idea why this happens. Please note that MGOS and Map3D uses 
different coordinate system libraries. This will change for MGOS 2.1.
Otherwise, try starting a new thread with "SL-King Oracle 
CoordinateSystem" in the title to get the attention of the right people.

Make sure that the data tables in Oracle have unique primary keys 
assigned. When previewing, there should be a little star next to the 
primary key column name.
You can only select features that are marked as selectable in the map, 
and have a primary key assigned.

The Gdal provider does not always tell you there was an error, but 
return those extents instead. There may be files missing, or an access 
problem to the folder.
Also, if the folder contains  non-raster files, this might happen.

Yes, you need to delete the previous file before uploading. That is a 
bug in Maestro, feel free to report it:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro

An alternative is to upload the file with a different name, and change 
the <ConfigurationDocument /> tag in the FeatureSource Xml to use the 
new file.
