Regarding misaligned stars - I don't have time to finish my star analysis post right now but I am fairly certain that - like the nymphs and plants, all stars in the VM were drawn by the same person. Meaning probably not by the scribe writing the text. This may seem odd but I believe the stars were also drawn first like the rest of the illustrations, and the text was added later.
