Not sure about some of these things, but mostly they seem minor:
The biggest is that I'm not able to fine target body parts without prepping the spell first. I'm unable to just "target gargoyle neck" - it defaults to just targeting the whole creature.

Along the same lines, just a messaging bug - haven't played around too much yet but this is the first one I've seen:
>You gesture at a granite gargoyle.
>A noose of darkest shadows forms in your hands. With a flick of your wrist, you send it flying at a granite gargoyle!
>The noose constricts silently around its neck, neatly severing its Dinazen Olkar and jugular.
>Roundtime: 1 sec.
I tried fine targeting and gryphons, and the system refuses to acknowledge it at all - it won't let me do anything more than just target them as a whole, doesn't matter the spell. Fledgling and Young gryphons were the ones I tested on. This is true for 3.0 as well though. The system doesn't return anything when I try.

etc.
I know these are all relatively minor in the scheme of things but thought I'd put them out there for reference. I'll keep messing around a bit.

Yeah, TARGET alone doesn't let you automatically target body parts. It's something we should fix but probably not something for 3.1 yet.
Worth noting is that you did TARGET PD and then TARGET NECK for the first one. TARGET automatically prepped it for you and chose a target, so it wouldn't let you re-target it.
Have you tried TARGET GRYPHON LEFT ARM after prepping? That should work.

Yep, it works for most (if not all) other critters I've tried but gryphons don't allow me to specifically target - in 3.0 now or 3.1 in test. The system just doesn't return anything or acknowledge the command:

* Tentatively, a young forest gryphon rears, buffeting its wings at you. You evade, barely twisting out of harm's reach.
