First, it doesn't recognize an external drive if its already plugged-in at boot time. I have to unplug and re-plug the drive to get it recognized by Manager.

Second, if I mistype the volume passphrase, as soon as I re-select the drive in the dropdown list, I get a "Whoops", something about local variables.

Third, if I successfully (or sometimes unsuccessfully, like after a "Whoops") unlock the drive, I can't select the drive again if I go back to the restore window.

Finally, if I simply unlock the drive it populates the Directory field with the folder of my backup, but clicking Next results in this:

Whoops. A critical error has occured. This is most likely a bug in Qubes Manager.
