Apparently the platform issue was caught by GrandLinq's quality assurance program. Let's hope that the program has been able to catch any other issues that have been overlooked.
As for the LRVs keeping their schedule and whether they have signal priority, I can imagine that since we aren't going to have five minute LRV headways that a critical part of the network interconnections will be that every vehicle arrives where it should when it should plus/minus a few minutes. For instance, someone arriving at the station either on a connecting bus or to catch a connecting bus (which might operate say with 15 or even 30 minute frequency) won't appreciate if they arrive only to discover that their connection has already left (in the case of a faster than expected LRV) or that it will a longer wait (also in the case where the LRV arrives before it is planned to arrive).
