But didn't the 57th St B operate express during rush hours? I'd be very surprised if that B ran on the local while the rush hours-only 168th St B ran on the express at the same time. And didn't the original plan for the V train - before the Manhattan Bridge north side tracks shut down in 1986 - call for renaming the 57th St B as the V?

As for the southbound N trains operating from 96/2, I have to agree that it's of little consequence. With this being a brand new service, it really shouldn't be that confusing since it's not breaking with any well established service pattern (because there isn't one). And I really don't see how calling these same trains Q's in the northbound direction is confusing, especially if they are being announced as "Q trains via the N line" in Brooklyn. When they get to Manhattan, the trains announce themselves as Q trains. I rode one. It did display "via Sea Beach," but if you're not going there, I can't possibly see how that would be confusing.
