NX flash is not working on NX camera! Do I misunderstand?

Well, NX flash is not working as I would have hoped on a particular NX Camera and appears to have some bugs.   This is for NX300+SEF580A.   NX1+SEF580A works perfectly, as do NX30+SEF580A and NX500+SEF580A from the testimony of others.   Some differences are to be expected, for instance I wouldn't expect HSS modes to work on the NX300 because it doesn't support HSS.  But I never would have expected that using it in manual mode at lowest flash power would instead fire at full flash power.  Nor that it would need manual action to trigger an update of the auto flash zoom when adjusting the zoom of an NX lens.  I also would have expected the strobe mode to be available and functional.   And probably master mode as well, controlled only from the flash since the NX300 doesn't have much in the way of flash control built into its own menus.
