Is there a place to drop drive-by comments about hopelessly-tangled knots "someone else" might fix?
I come across https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/merge/verify/MX2G-291/MVVS-94Z - obviously it appears two different men with wives with the same name and a few children with the same common names have gotten mixed up. I have no idea, I might have even been involved in the original problem - truth is, it's too complicated for me to untangle whose kid is whose, which sources point to which man, etc.
I feel bad just abandoning the mess, but have more direct relatives and issues on which to expend my time. Is there a nice forum or something where we can just drop drive-by "hints" of our own of things that a professional LDS/expert with the system can spend time figuring out?

On the Collaboration Tab for each person, create a new Note. At the top of the Note is a box to check for Alert Note. This will display the note you create warning of the problem in red at the top of the person's detail page.

Amy thanks, I'll do that for right now - but it'll still likely sit there for years before anyone sees it - muchless one of the dedicated people who do a lot of this stuff. Ideally I was hoping FS had a way to tag things so someone at a FRC or other "expert" comes and takes a look at it.

No, there are no "FamilySearch" resources allocated to take on such work - and you should be aware there are probably many thousands of such examples that sit in Family Tree.
The only alternative would be for you to advise of the ID references of one or two of the profiles concerned, in a hope a volunteer (probably an everyday FT user who happens to have some time on their hands) will be willing to take a look. However, as you comment, we (all) have our ancestors / close relatives who need our prime attention, so you would be very fortunate to find a volunteer willing to spend possibly a couple of days of their valuable time in trying to untangle this mess.
