I dont really see this as a mistake, more of bad luck. Unless you mean when he started going the wrong way and luke pointed him in the direction, but getting eating isnt really a mistake on his part.

Come to think of it on Endor R2 uses his saw to free them from the Ewok-made Wookie-trap and the group all fall to the ground, again including R2 who could have just flown to the ground.
If he used his jets he would have burned his companions, so he chose to just fall because he knew that he wouldnt be damaged by that small of a fall (i mean he's got to be built fairly rugged look at all he's been through, and he's designed to go into the back of a starship

Silly little droid forgot that one day the Master would make it so that he always had booster jets in his legs.
That's simple, due to a rift in space time the prequals actually happened after the OT so he was upgraded.

Also doesn't R2 keep bumping into walls throughout the OT films?
I dont remember this, he might have run into a wall or some other obstical but im not sure, i could be mistaken. I think it was more that he ran into things while they were filming it caus as R2 said he caused a lot of problems during production by not working properly
