Dear Randall,
I'm answering these questions from my limited knowledge of designer, I
guess the only person able to give better answers is Jason Cater, the
initial author of gnue-designer.

AFAICT, there never was a documented API between GNUe Forms and GNUe
Designer. GNUe Designer accesses internal data structures of GNUe Forms,
and I'm not sure this is easy to change.
Having said that, I think the biggest change in GNUe Forms which
requires a change in Designer is the change from a character based
absolute positioning paradigm to a layout management paradigm.
So in older versions, in a form you would have defined an entry to be
positioned at x=3, y=5.
Now, you define e.g. a vertical box with several entries, and GNUe Forms
automatically positions these entries vertically below each other.

I have no idea about this.
Thanks,
