Selecting tempo from palettes problem
When I select a measure and then double-click some tempo in the Tempo palett, if the measure is empty then correctly one tempo string is inserted. If the measure is not empty then 3-4-5 tempo strings are inserted.

You're not supposed to select a measure, but a note or rest at which the tempo should start.
So this isn't a bug but a usage error, see also https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tempo#tempo-marking

Well, if what was a convenient way for me to set a tempo was "a usage error", then the program shouldn't allow doing so. Or the manual should specify what actions lead to errors. Both variants seem no good to me.

The handbook explains how to do it, why should it explain how not to do it?
Also there are occasions where it makes sense to apply tempo texts to measures, like to 'simulate' an accel. or rit. (you would make them invisble then and change the values)

It's actually quite useful to be able to apply multiple tempo texts or other palette elements at once - definitely an incredibly important feature. Eg, adding staccato to a whole bunch of notes at one, or adding dynamics to a vertical select of one note each on multiple staves. This is documented in multiple places, but if there are places where you feel additional mention would be useful, it's all open source, feel free to make the change.
FYI, tempo is basically just another text with a different option than say Staff text that can be used to change mixer channels. Any text you apply is applied to all selected notes, not measures. This is actually used in the the tempo change plugin in version 2.
