To B&Os credit I think the issues are finally solved. My BeoSound 1 & 2 are working great.

Not saying, that this could cause trouble in a NL environment...Well, I think you might be right. Too bad I can't turn disable Google Cast to test it (there is no "Turn Google Cast off" controls within B&O app or I might be overlooking it).
Today's log btw says: "Google cast doesn't start after update, disable google cast". Well, I did not update the A9 recently but still I'm suspicious it might indicate something linked to Cast issues as you said... Let's see.
It seems that Google has admitted that they have to work on the Chromecast devices to eliminate these troubles.

Quick update from Struer (Jan 12 2018):
They are confident all remaining issues will be solved by the next sw update - expected released within 2 weeks.
Any news on the A6 update?
Actually you can do a factory reset. Then during reinstalling do not accept Googles Chromecast conditions. Chromecast is not "switched on".Too bad I can't turn disable Google Cast to test
I did so with my Essences, A6 and BS35. Since then no dropouts or any problems at all.

More than 2 weeks have passed now!
Any news?

@MM:
B&O sw dept issued a statement on Tuesday confirming that they have managed to identify the wifi issue and fix it. Tests so far shows that the issue is solved, but they will continue with more extensive test cycles to rule out as many side effects as possible (finally?). The release is said to be "in the next weeks" or as soon as possible - if there are no side effects.

Any word on whether Google Chromecast built-in will work in this new release?

So last sign from B&O was on January 30th. Still no firmware update. Since I am a Tidal user and not a Spotify user, this has effectively crippled my 2 A6's and my A9 ... Really hard pressed to sell them all and select Bluesound products going forward ...

I’m on the beta track and received beta 1.16.19505 for my A6 and 1.16.19506 for my M5 and BS1. That reinstated Cromecast on the A6.I do not use Chromcast regularly but the times I tried it worked with no problems. Have a group including all my devices.Experience no dropouts./C
