The wording isn't quite right, you're absolutely right. Basically, we
need to express that it is the start of the first broadcast of the
last episode within that series/season. If the last episode keeps on
being repeated, we don't want want the series end date to change. So
perhaps something like 'start of first publication of the last episode
within that series/season' would work better?

Yes, and same thing for RadioSeries (a bit further down the page)

What is the strategy for indicating that some properties really relate to an ordered collection? This was suggested in the Microdata to RDF mapping for the following properties as well [1]:

Right, so that's indeed an issue I had when reading the current spec.
It  is not clear what the object of those plural properties is. If it
is a list, a plural is fine (but it makes it hard to map to other
vocabularies). However, it points to episode that also have an episode
number, so I assumed it pointed to individual episodes, that are then
ordered using this property. So really not sure! The spec definitely
doesn't make it clear. The example at http://schema.org/TVEpisode
seems to suggest the latter.

Does anyone from schema.org has more information about that? I guess
we should at least aim at making the range of such properties clear.
