Agreed.

I don't think this is a universal problem? I know three TF2 players who do not
experience it including myself.  We have MOTD disabled how ever if that has
some thing to do with it?

I have not tried enabling Bloom how ever HDR does not effect my ability to play
the game in this way (I didn't check to see how it effected FPS or if it
actually did anything).  

I'd like to add to your detailed list: 
- Enabling Steam Cloud resets TF2 configuration options (graphics, voice,
bindings) to fresh install defaults after every launch.  Disabling it stops
this.  
- Alt-tabbing causes the game to crash in a repeatable fashion.  While this is
a Windows bug it isn't consistent under Windows while it is under Wine.  Using
a Virtual Desktop works around this issue.
