As I remember it, R2D2's and C3PO's cameo was before the Rebel fighters took off for Eado, not before the fleet left for Scariff. However, I may have missed a second cameo.
As for Leia's 'diplomatic mission' statement, that would have been a lie to protect the ship. Like using diplomatic immunity on Earth to avoid being charged with crimes.
The transmissions to the ship do work in the sense that Vader 'could' have been referring to the transmissions in general being aimed at the ship that contained the blockade runner. He wouldn't have known or cared that the transmissions were initially received by the containing ship, and might have believed quite reasonably that they were received by the blockade runner.
I don't get the feeling there were many, if any, significant continuity errors between R1 and ANH, they fit together pretty well IMO.
Regarding the droids, I'll stand corrected if I'm mistaking the timeline of events. That's how I remember it.
Leia's "lie" makes no sense in context of what happens in Rogue One. She was there, Darth tried to board her ship. It's the worst lie in diplomatic history and makes her look like an idiot.
Regarding no transmissions, it will be excused by saying he was metaphorically speaking. LOL
(Just like Ben lied to Luke about Vader killing his father)
There's also the fact they made it a point to say in A New Hope the Death Star just became operational. Firing on Alderaan was the first test of the weapon. In Rogue One the Death Star was shooting every planet in site. I know I know, those were mini tests. 
They could've avoided all these problems by not having Darth Vader*, Princess Leia or the Blockade Runner in the film at all. It should have focused on the Rebels finding the Death Star plans. Of course what Garth filmed was NOT a Star Wars film, so Disney probably got cold feet and forced all this stuff in later. (That's my speculation)
* Actually I would have Darth Vader as the main villain in the film. You didn't need that other worthless character. The cameo appearance feels like a marketing decision.

Leia does not see or meet daddy Vader at the end of ROGUE ONE, only that the bigger rebel ship is being attacked by Imperial forces, so they have to flee. So the lie DOES make sense, as a last (albeit desperate) attempt to talk her way out the situation.

I see no issues with this 'transmissions' thing. First of all, the transmission IS the circuit board (in the clunky 70s tech they're nurturing), second, the transmission IS sent to the big Rebel ship, and at the time of transmission, Leia's ship is part of it.
There's also the fact they made it a point to say in A New Hope the Death Star just became operational. Firing on Alderaan was the first test of the weapon. In Rogue One the Death Star was shooting every planet in site. I know I know, those were mini tests.
Yeah, I see no issues with this either. In ROGUE ONE, they make it perfectly clear that they're holding off on the big 'planet' kill, which we then see for the first time in ANH.

I disagree. I think it's crucial to make the link to the opening of ANH with all the characters that that entails.
I have my own issues with the film (it's an OK affair), but continuity is NOT one of them.

Fixed the thread title, but I'll leave my goofs in the body of my post.
