Seems like two verb forms are being used:
Vて-Form + たまらない
Vたくて-Form + たまらない.

Maybe they should be separated, since it's a bit confusing the way it is now.

Hmm, in the book that I have it says you can only use this with たい verbs...
i.e. they would all be conjugated as Vたくて＋たまらない
??

Probably because textbooks tend to usually not show every usage form unless its a grammar dictionary. :) I checked with a Japanese teacher, and the other forms are good!

Do you think everyone will understand で is the continuative copula for the root noun of the -na adjective, or should removing the -na be more explicit?

Most if not all pages in the grammar library explicitly show the な being added.
