Neither of these are flaws with the underlying trust model. The first is a flaw in visiblity issues --- not providing people with enough information to make what you consider to be an informed opinion. The second is a lack of fine-grained controls for modifying default behavior. Both of these are relevant things to discuss, but they are not flaws in the trust model.
A flaw in the trust model would be something like transitive trust --- if you commented on a protected post, then anybody who you have allowed access to your protected items could see the protected post that you had commented on.
Another flaw in the trust model, which may actually be present, would be if journal A is set up so that it can be seen by "friends only," and friend B has A on her friend's list, then anybody who is on B's friends list can see A's posts that are restricted to friends.
