It seems like the homepage-node doesn't get redirected correctly or i missed some option. This happens no matter if "Redirect front page to the localized version" is set or not.

I created to nodes: test-en and start-de. start-de is a translation of start-en. I setup start-en to be the frontpage node in english language version of the settings and start-de to be the german one. No matter which language i set for default it always shows the english version inlcuding the english site description (using default theme) above the frontpage text. When starting with the english UI and clicking the german flag after that i get redirected to /test-en (without the site description above then). when calling /start-de manually i get the correct content shown with the description above which for me indicates that drupal handles this as the frontpage.

It's kinda weird i know but i hope you can follow my points.

Same for me. I'd love to see something like "Default front page" based on language -- under Home > Administer > Site configuration. Currently it's form is blocked/protected when changing the language to any other than the system "Default".

correct, it is disabled because it has no sense to be translatable.

If you want first page redirection, activate this option under localizer settings.

I see your point. But "Redirect front page" doesn't work for me once I do this:

http://example.com is assigned to the English version of the site and http://example.de to the German -- works perfectly. Then I create a page called "Main" for the English version and make this my "Default front page". The German translation is called "Haupt" (the equivalent to Main in German). Switching language and sites via the menus works fine, but once you use domains directly, it doesn't. Using http://example.de gives you http://example.de/MAIN when it should show http://example.de/HAUPT.
