Those questions are more for the opponents of -fwrapv, so
I'll let them answer them.  But why are they relevant?

It's relevant in a "did my system just become 50% slower because of a change in autoconf defaults" sort of way.

(3) How many programs are known to rely on wrap semantics?  For each:
  (a) How hard was it to determine there was a problem with that assumption?

I'm not sure what you're asking for here.

Actual data, rather than handwaving. Which programs are affected? Show us all the broken code that you are actually aware of. You are making this out to be a huge problem, so let's see why.
