As a workaround you could make a bounce of the first section and select/edit whatever you need for the cut to work, then do the same for the second section. Join the two in a new project (or import in the same).

Inversely, I would like to be able to add empty measures in the middle of a song for when I am making some arrangement changes. 

1. Place the Now time where you want to add the space.
2. Split the tracks at that time.
3. Project > Insert Time/Measures.
 
Same constraint as above regarding MIDI notes.
 
 

Works for me 100% of the time

As far as I can tell, yes, insert time works.  BUt if you think about it, if there is no data beyond the set point in any track, what difference does it make whether nothing is actually shifted or is not shifted.  
 
It's the delete that is the problem, and it has caused many many hours of grief.  You must be extraordinarily vigilant, or else the project gets in such a mess that it's unusable.
 

Agreed, delete is a mess, which is why I for one am looking forward to the ripple edit feature.
 
Meanwhile, I only EVER work on a freshly saved new version.

I cant have multiple versions. Just the other day I opened wrong version and spent entire weekend working in it, just to find out that it was older version...
 
How do we vote or suggest the features? When do we expect the ripple edit? I remember having this functionality in Logic on Windows in 2000.

Sorry, but you are seriously backing yourself into a corner if you only ever work on one version of your project.
 
I simply do a "save as" with incrementing numbers so it's a no brainer to work out which version I should be working on.

+1, definitely reconsider your stance and consider descriptive file names. "Song X Dance Version.cwp" and "Song X Radio Version.cwp" would be understandable years from now.

If you overwrite the one version, what if you want to make subtle tweaks to it later? You will have to relive the pain now in reverse.

Filling the hole with data and then doing delete hole workaround is ok....  
But good luck if your project has multiple tempo/meter changes.  Cluster of the highest magnitude.

Radio edits are done on the master, not the multitrack.

Yes! to editing the final mix. I do this all the time with prerecorded stuff to alter songs to my personal liking. Fun stuff.

If you want to do it inside a project:

1. Bounce each track to create one continuous clip per track.
2. Slip drag the begining of each clip to the same begining point (do NOT bounce).
3. Ctrl+A to select all.
4. Drag curser in the time line rule where you want to create hole.
5. Delete Special and select all boxes. Remaining clips should fill the hole.
6. Save edited project as a new one.
