1. why did Roche fund manufacturing facilities despite the uncertainties?

Roche is handling the Phase III trials, without drugs they can't do the trials. None of that has anything to do with the fact that Phase II study designs were flawed.

2. why would the FDA let trms proceed with phase III without clarifying the phase II issues that you described?

I expect this to be resolved in Phase III. As a result I expect Phase III results to be worse not better than Phase II results. This is because Phase II results included benefit from the other cocktail of anti-HIV drugs used.
