My 135% genoa has to cross over (to the outboard side) of the lifeline, and rubs against it and the leeward pulpit railing. Do I need to get extra protection against chafe at these points, or is this just 'normal?'

John that is normal for all catalina 25's where the jib tack attaches to the deck, except the 78-79 models that had life lines that were attached to the deck pulpit junction. When I race I still disconnect my life lines from the upper attach points and attach them to the bottom. This gives the jib a much better shape and full power.
