You forgot to mention that the cylinder has absorption. :)
After removing absorption, there is still a bright outline but I'm not sure if this is a bug.

Any chance this scene is extremely small? This effect disappears if you scale the objects up.

You should definitely avoid annoying windows that pop up and/or halt your rendering. But some kind of subtle information like "warning! unsupported materials in scene" could be a life saver. Maybe putting it in dr/log tab is a good idea indeed.

I had to optimize for minimal Passes count, so that I won't take more than 5 minutes per frame

This doesn't make much sense. You could as well decrease gi/aa or lsm to have MORE passes in the same time to get better antialiasing.

in the final render, thus I oversized normalmaps (fewer samples needed)

What do you mean?

no shadows on posters etc.

What do you mean again?

and to my surprise it delivered a more noisy result in the same time span (no interpolation of primary rays I suppose, when no UHDC)

When you are only using path tracing, then this is pretty obvious. :)

UHDC is limited to 200k bounces and is (semi)view bound

What do you mean?

Something like "Corona console"?

If this feature request wasn't a joke, then I would add that it would surely introduce lots of confusion. And for the "rendering" noise there is either random noise changing at every frame or static pattern, both would look bad. :)

Does it happen in other scenes? Can you prepare some new very simple scene and see if this effect is there?

I think motion blur may have problems with changing topology.

Water drops should be solid (capped) like any other refractive object.

All refractive things should slightly intersect with whatever is underneath them to have a "sticked" effect (like liquid inside of glass) or else they would seem away from the surface.
