When you say "discharge of filaments from the non-sunward facing side" are you talking about jets?
Comet nuclei do rotate!

As for the uneven surface features how does plasma physics explain these features?
The surface could be just erosion of soft material from harder packed material due to sublimation processes.

What large spikes are you referring to?

This just gets more interesting doesn't it!?
