Changed to:

As mentioned above, implementations are free to use an appropriate
implementation-dependent hash function instead of the
specified hash function, provided that the specified equality predicate
is a refinement of the <code>equal?</code> predicate.
This applies whether the hash function and equality predicate are passed
as separate arguments or packaged up into a constructor.

It's an error, and I added text to say so.

The intended implication is that the rightmost argument wins.  In
alist->hashtable, the leftmost value of a key wins, because alists
are searched left to right.  I've added clarifying language.

The implementation has not been updated to the new specification.

Fixed.

I've updated it, but the date in the git repository is a more reliable
source of truth.
