There used to be a bug (IIRC) in FritzOS where you had to enter values for VCI/VPI even though these are not used for VDSL.

There are still bugs - some of my menus are still in German

Well it works a treat. Thats if i plug it in directly to the phone socket.

How do you get these to work in conjunction with the Openreach modem. Or do they not mind if you remove their demarcation point?

The demarc is the master socket. The Openreach modem is just the freebie supplied. BT HomeHub's (the newer ones) don't require the Openreach modem I believe.

Personally I'd keep it as a backup. The FritxBox already supports vectoring, which is the only major change that is long awaited from BT. The only benefit to the Openreach modem is that BT can update it remotely with new features (to the extent that its hardware allows).
