Kevin,
Your "Improved Condorcet//Approval" (ICA) method I take attempts
to minimally modify Condorcet//Approval(ranking) so that it meets
Sincere Favourite (your version of FBC).

48: A>B
02: B
49: B=A
01: C
A>B 48-2, A>C 97-1.
In this virtual 2-candidate election, ICA elects B.
To fix this, I suggest:
"3-slot ballots, default rating Bottom, Top and Middle interpreted as
approval.
If the Top ratings winner T has a TR score higher than T's
maximum pairwise opposition score then elect T.
Otherwise elect the regular ICA winner."
This seems to be a pure improvement. What do you think?
