Some of the installation issues may have been solved with the BWP v11.1 installer already!
Taking a page out of Suslik's book for BWP v10.3, I thought I'd keep a running commentary of all the bugs I encountered so far on BWPv11 in one place, in this thread. WeiDU.log attached, when I say "custom" install I mean I cherry picked certain mods and chose a "Standard, with all mods included" English-language custom install that includes one or two tactical elements (Ascension, Hard Times), but no actual tactic scripting (SCS, BP, etc) mods. The mods included:

Other info: no ambient sounds running, cache set to 2000, transparent shadows, full windowed, no widescreen mod, playing at 1024x768 res, WinXp OS.
INSTALLATION PROBLEMS
Some of the installation issues may have been solved with the BWP v11.1 installer already!
Spoiler
GAMEPLAY PROBLEMS
- Turambar's drow item contingency: random "You can not cast multiple instances of the same contingency spell on yourself" popping up now and then. The message is the result of the "slow drow item disintegration" tweak.
solution: do nothing, not a critical bug. Future installs: do not include the slow drow weapon disintegration tweak.
- BG1 Gavin / BG1 NPC dialogue duplication: Sometimes Gavin / BG1 NPCs offering duplicated dialogue choices at random, both conversational and PiD choices.
reported, solution: reset strings using "your voice sounds funny" dialogue option
- Sap: Sap (club which knocks NPCs unconscious instead of killing them) doesn't work: NPCs do not ever fall unconscious, but they never die, either
reported, solution: no idea, not critical
- BGSpawn delay: Random area mob spawns show up only after a long wait if at all, and not just the canine mob variety.
reported, solution: none
- NPC / Vanilla music conflict: Custom NPC music plays simultaneously over standard vanilla background music.
reported, solution: turn the music in the game off completely
- Dual class Imoen: Dual classing Imoen @ lvl6 to a mage in BG1 creates an inescapable level up screen loop
solution: strip Imoen of all non-mage equipment before levelling up
- Dual class mage exploit: Dual classing to a mage can potentially lead to an infinite spell selection exploit:
solution: ignore the exploit and do nothing
- BG1NPC Garrick and Ulcaster School quest: If Garrick is not in your party when you return to Ulcaster after receiving this quest, but you had visited Ulcaster beforehand with Garrick in your party, AND he was singing his bardsong, the bardsong will remain activated both in the Ulcaster area as well as the Ulcaster dungeon ruins.
reported, solution: ignore and pretend Garrick's voice is still echoing around the canyon
- Re-located Shar Teel: Shar Teel shows up both on the coast path in her "convienient" location, as well as in basilisk area, her "original" location.
solution: don't recruit her ?twice?
- Hard Times wolf pelt "feature": With "Hard Times" installed wolf pelts at Naskel go for 150gp per pelt. But Bergerost still buys them for 250gp per pelt. Not a bug, just a feature I guess.
solution: sell the pelts where you want to ;-)
- Wild Surges and mod added spells: custom spells added in by mods don't react to wild mage surges. Wild mage surge messages still appear but their affects don't actually take place. Tested with Chaos Shield cast, against TDD spells and vanilla magic missiles.
reported for dsotsc, solution: stop using mod-added spells
- Zurlong's Boots of Stealth reward duplication: If a pair of boots of stealth exist in your inventory, Zurlong will take them, give you his quest reward message, and you will get the quest xp reward and lose the boots, even if you have completed the quest before.
solution: don't talk to / kill Zurlong after completing his quest.
- Monk "Stunning Blow" fist / deafness: If deafened, a monk cannot activate "stunning blow" since it counts as a "spell"
solution: none :-(
- hostile Pelvsdale lake poets: poets turned hostile after a miscast spell from a wild surge. they were neither targetted nor on screen at the time of the casting, and the miscast was not a fireball or other off screen area affect. (dropped cow)
reported, solution: none
- Gavin mistimed morning talks: Gavin will occassionally start "morning breakfast" talks when it's obviously evening after resting. Most recently, he gave a breakfast talk at 1AM game time.
more will come as I note it. For an install this big I am shocked by the lack of bugs and CtDs so far. Much more stable than my non BWP attempts to install more than 1 mod at a time.
