Looking at the usage for #2, couldn't you also say 「私は仮面ライダーに変身する」? Because with the way its written, I'm thinking 「変身」 to literally change/transform as well as 「なる」? Though, my question probably - Can you use them interchangeably?
Yea, I'd see them as the difference being 'to become' and 'to change/transform into', so probably not more than a slight change in the meanings, but *generally* the same.
two things on the last usage - first, it appears most people have confused this pattern with (verb stem)に(motion verb - いく，くる etc) (I did too until looking at it again!) so maybe have something for that as well? Also you can use a noun for that pattern as well if you use を重ねて - 嘘に嘘を重ねて (using numerous lies, or piling one lie on another)
Hmm - it works in the renshuu beta - beta will become the main site in just a couple of weeks, so I recommend that you join it now (link in the Help menu), as no bug fixes are being made on the 2.0 (current) version of the site unless the quizzing stops working.

The link to passive tense on usage 4 seems to be broken.
For the 8th usage, DBJG says に can be used with verbs of motion to express purpose (and also adds 入る and 出る to that list), but not with verbs like 歩く, 走る or 泳ぐ (as they represent a specific mode of motion, rather than the movement itself). Does anyone have a more complete list of such verbs (for instance, would using it with 上る or 落ちる be ungrammatical)?
I do not at all understand #7 A and B (as a set), for cannot find any (verified) example sentence for this particular usage. I found that に means "and; in addition to". Would that be the same? If so does a sentence like 紅茶に砂糖を加える。fall under this usage as many people consider sugar a necessary companion for tea? On the other hand this に has a feel of に入れる to it, which is closer to #2, is it not?
Just clarified that meaning a bit and added a sentence! You were right with the first guess - it is similar to と when the two often come together as a set.

Concerning #8, I still don't understand the diference between this に and に行く・に来る which can be found elsewhere in the grammar library. And how does 嘘に嘘を重ねて fit into this pattern?
What if に is sandwiched between nouns? Which category does that belong to? e.g. パスポートの申請に必要な物
I think に #8 and に行く・来る are the same - they just got put up in different places.
I'm not sure the last case you gave is properly covered yet, but I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment so I cannot research the usage enough to document it.
I thought that I was being stupid and kept misunderstanding what に did in a sentence, little did I know that it has nine different uses. Thank you just so much Japan :)
