"Hold your Position" almost always occurs once clear of the runway. I sometimes don't get it if I am taxiing very slowly at that point. It was always the same in PFE. So perhaps it's way of identifying your precise position.
Absolutely correct. On larger airports in particular it can take a little while to calculate the best taxi route, in which time, if you're taxiing too fast you could have already past a few of the taxi waypoints that PF3 has decided to use. That in turn would mean you have to hit the 'skip taxi waypoints' hotkey a few times. So it's always best to turn off the runways and then slow down to a crawl.
It's also a good excuse to do your "After landing checks" then too.

Okay, there was indeed a slight problem whereby if you just selected STARs Active you would not get the correct STAR clearance when reaching your last waypoint. Even if you manually selected the last waypoint as the start of Star you wouldn't get the correct clearance which should include the STAR name.

This will be in the next maintenance release 3.0.3 :)

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!
