Well, the last one,%:50000, is another bug, it doesn't wait 50s...
To read 5 samples from AUX, enter @:5
HiZ>@
AUX INPUT/HI-Z, READ: 0
HiZ>@:5
AUX INPUT/HI-Z, READ: 0
AUX INPUT/HI-Z, READ: 0
AUX INPUT/HI-Z, READ: 0
AUX INPUT/HI-Z, READ: 0

This trick doesn't work for ADC:
HiZ>d
VOLTAGE PROBE: 0.00V
HiZ>d:5
VOLTAGE PROBE: 0.00V
Syntax error at char 2
ADC supports continuous mode, D, but I would like to have possibility to read exact number of samples (or an option to run continuous mode for predetermined time). When I need just few samples, up to about 300 samples, I can repeat d command several times, like ddddd to read 5 samples from ADC. Maybe I want more samples, 50000 samples d:50000, to run FFT analyse on measured data or to search for the shortest and the longest pulses. I CANNOT do that in an easy way (I can do that with BASIC scripting, the hard way...)

BTW, it is possible to repeat even commands that doesn't make sense, like a:5:
HiZ>a:5
AUX LOW
AUX LOW
AUX LOW
AUX LOW
AUX LOW
Is there any added value in command like this? I do not ask to disable this but to add such feature to d command...
I think there are other commands that could have this feature, v to read inputs several times is good candidate (to monitor several inputs in the same time, very simple logical analyzer).

One curiosity about timer. Following command should activate AUX output for 30 seconds. I have LED connected to AUX output and I measure with stopwatch how accurate is Bus Pirate timing. I measure about 38 seconds, that is 25% more!

Many commands support repeat mode. To wait 50ms, enter
