Confirmed in 4.2.5 and 4.3.0 on Linux Mint.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Type "tomorrow, i'm going to be 5. but " all in smallcase
2) It will turn it into "Tomorrow, i'm going to be 5. but "

The same goes for having parenthesis at before the period.

Regarding the all caps word at the end of the sentence, i believe that if LibreOffice things the word is an actual word, it will auto-correct the following sentence. I tested this with "where are you going tomorrow JIMMY. what ".

reproducible under Win7x64 using 4.3.0.4 as well.

reproducible.

yes, but only with numbers followed by parenthesis.

"See you later (come at 5). bye"
"See you later (come at 5 o'clock). Bye"

I don't reproduce this.
I get "where are you going tomorrow JIMMY. What ".

Yes that was an example of it working correctly, as previously mentioned, "LibreOffice thinks the word is an actual word, it will auto-correct the following sentence". I had an example of it not working, but cant seem to be able to remember what it was, as all the ones i try now seem to work. :)

I remember a bug report of someone complaining of lack of capitalization after some texts like CF. 

now I figure out that was becuase "cf." is listed under "Autocorrect Options/Exceptions/Abbreviations (no Subsequent Capital)"

unfortunately I cannot find the exact bug number for that report
