1) Helicopter Gunship benefits from roads.

That happens since it uses same promotion as Scout (Ignores Terrain Cost), while in fact it should've used different promotion: All Tiles Cost 1 Move (which is white colored, like all other air specific promotions). And yes, that's same promotion that Minutemen used before last patch.

2) Helicopter Gunship Ambush promotion doesn't give any benefit. No extra bonus against Armor unit.

This happens since there is error in XML data files, where helicopter specific version of Ambush promotion doesn't have any combat bonus.

3) Several units retain unit specific penalties after upgrade

Chariot units after upgrade still keep rough terrain penalty. So any knight/cavalry gained from them still suffer from it (end turn on rough terrain).

Artillery upgraded to Rocket Artillery still needs to be set up, unlike newly bough Rocket Artillery, since "must set up" promotion carry overs with upgrade.

There is a flag in promotion definitions, that rules does some promotion carry over or not, after upgrade. It should be changed for these promotions.

.

Note that this behavior applies to some unit specific bonuses too:
Pikemen upgraded to Riflemen still retains +100% bonus vs. mounted units

These may or may not be considered bugs, but do seem like unintended behavior.
