> Google+ has its own special madness of it seemingly choosing which of my photos it deems worthy and not actually just syncing all of them.. only the ones it likes get 'highlighted' but even clicking into 'more' it seems (I swear I'm not crazy) it only actually syncs are subset of the rest. God knows why. Does not give me confidence in the solution.

I don't understand this, are you saying that not all the pictures are synced to the cloud or that you can't see all the pictures synced?
