Every once in a while, the buttons from the HUD on the bottom right of the screen tend to disappear. I suspect this is caused by lighting fires, but I'm not sure. This is quite a big nuisance to me, is there a way to fix this?

I'm aware of the problem, but I have found it very difficult to reproduce reliably enough to be able to debug it. I suspect it is caused by the wrong texturing unit being allocated while drawing in non-programmatic mode, causing the wrong set of texture coordinates to be used.

It is possible to work around by forcing programmatic drawing with the console command ":gl progmode a", but that has its own set of problems, although far less problematic ones. The default mode is ":gl progmode r" (which only uses programmatic mode when necessary).
