Can you send me a list (or post them here) of what issues you've hit? The biggest one i'm aware of is the scripts problem which is a fundamental problem with the 1.0 Wheel (or rather that any library with console entry points cannot be universal).
Since you asked, I'll mention the two that I've hit (though I think you're also aware of these already): 1) Wheel's conversion of - to _ in version strings embedded in filenames, which breaks with setuptools precedent; see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1150 and https://bitbucket.org/dholth/wheel/issue/78/wheel-rewrites-versions-preventi... 2) Wheel's decision to follow distutils' documentation rather than distutils' behavior when it comes to the location for installing data_files with relative paths; see https://bitbucket.org/dholth/wheel/issue/80/wheel-does-not-install-data_file...
