Agree that it is difficult...

and there is one important overall question:

Is the fact that the BTC market was unregulated equaling that the exchange owner can just do anything?

I guess many people buying bitcoins at MtGox were - rightly or wrongly - assuming that standard exchange practices were followed. Shouldn't now standard exchange principles apply?

The fact that bitcoin is unregulated does not automatically mean that an owner can just ignore standard existing practices of exchanges (and that's what it is).

Does someone have some standard knowledge of how normal exchanges would need to treat the issue that happend today on bitcoins?

Including placing bid / asks order again where they were or not?

You tell us, you're the expert on this kinda stuff right?

I feel this is gonna seriously jack up the willingness to accept bitcoin now.
