My wish list for VV5 ...
1) Nursery school kids that can actually "improve & learn" skills as they're being taught (or see #5b).
2) Women who can "research" or "teach" while pregnant, thereby becoming "useful" for 2 years.
3) Puzzles that don't take days or weeks to solve - just more of them and creative ones that will benefit the tribe - not just add beauty, or for the sake of having a puzzle.
4) More wind flutes (love them!) - ones that will chime in different tones when there's a collectible somewhere on the map.
5) Kids that can also harvest more than mushrooms - maybe berries (and mushrooms) but nothing else until they're adults.
5a) Kids that will harvest mushrooms automatically, with an "official mushroom counter" so you can see progress. Have mushroom harvesting add to their "farming experience".
5b) Maybe have kids who can "appentice" with a builder or researcher at age 10 or 12 instead of waiting until 14 years old.
6) More ways adults can earn "Parenting" skills, rather than just "babymakers" and "storytellers".
7) Invent a "rogue tribesman or woman" - one who creates trouble, such as stealing food or tools, or undoes progress on something else. Have a way to "contain the threat", such as jail for 8 hours, and a way to "modify their behavior" over time.
The hummingbird and ghost ideas were very creative, as is the crab-catching! :-)
My newest village may never get to clear the blockage! 
Actually the laundry doesn't bother me once they have the unlimited food supply. I tend to get more frustrated in VV3 with villagers washing, bathing, or getting a drink in the middle of a rain storm. I would love to see a little less of that.
