Very nice. Just tried it on (www.bbcamerica.com) and it works as oppose to the regular ublock that removes google analytics and don't know how to handle getting stuck. Will definitely test it out more and report any bugs.

Is this a matter of something changed in the extension itself, or is it a difference in what filters they subscribe to by default?
Far too much discussion of adblockers ignores that the third-party filters are not the same as the browser extension. Filter subscriptions are mostly interchangeable between the various AdBlock derivatives and replacements, and it's also quite possible to use them with only filters you create yourself.
Also, it sounds like the Google Analytics problem you're referring to is what NoScript's surrogate scripts feature is for.

Probably related to the `redirect` filter option, introduced in uBO 1.4.0[1].
