The falcon is evaluated by the interactive diagram pretty low.

No, it isn't. Even on the 12x12 board of the XBetza Sandbox it evaluates nCnZ as 452 and a Bishop to 395, while the Bishop should benefit from the large board much more than the Falcon. If it trades Falcon for Bishop there must be some deeper tactical reason (which could of course be a blunder due to insufficient search depth).

The interactive diagram displays castling out of chess as legal. Is this by design?

Indeed, the ID highlights all pseudo-legal moves. Perhaps a future version will highlight pseudo-legal moves that are not legal with grey crosses, rather than the normal symbols (as the version with newClick=0 would do for moves of royal pieces). I am not entirely sure whether I implemented the 'no moving out of check' rule for fast castling, but if I didn't, it should be considered a bug in the AI, not in the highlighting.
