If by bugs you mean stuff like floorguard glitches, oneway glitches, corner jumping, and going through chaingun drone fire, I personally don't think they should be fixed. HIghscorers have been using those glitches to their advantage since the game was made. Would N be as exciting without those glitches? No? Yes? Well, you can get N+ (DS, PSP, XBLA), which has gotten rid of those (but added some others in the process).

You should check out
Nreality here. It has pretty much everything you described there, except for the new tiles. I doubt new tiles can/should be implemented by M&R because for a tile to function properly (enemywise, and perhaps ninjawise due to something about collision detection), one entire side of the tile space must be a tile. The wiser ones can tell you about that.

Last version was 1.4, from April '04, which makes it nearly 6 years of update-lessness, unless you include Nreality, which Unreality tries his best to constantly update, and N+. Meanwhile, you can tell everybody you're playing a classic.

Last I heard, they were working on two new games,
Robotology and
Office Yeti. You should check out their blog, which they recently promised to update,
here.
I feel this post has been made more than once.
