None of this should mess up your intonation.

On the tuning issues, my thinking goes like this: Higher tension at the saddle means the string may not move as freely on the saddle hinge point, thus turning the tuning keys may produce that ping sound when a string is stuck at the nut or saddle.
I believe the tailpiece suggestion, if this guitar has one, is a good fix. If its string through body, then the bridge and neck adjustment will be in order.
