BenRG:
I'm going to stick with my theory that newbody!Roko's nonsense phrase were actually the proper synchronising configuration settings of some kind. It had to happen when Roko was unconscious and thus couldn't interfere with the process. However, I'm not expecting Jeph to go into too much technical detail on this. However, I think that hearing those words have meant that Roko how has had several checkboxes ticked and slide-bars adjusted in her settings panel. Consequently, things are working a bit better. Not perfectly, because most of this is psychosomatic anyway, but better.
In reply to Yay's question in panel 4, a Spooky Dream is one where you are forced to confront your personal demons that take a bizarre and non-threatening form and that also makes you think about the world in different ways.
I know that it is just a 'horny robot' joke but, in my head, the 'good bit' that Roko missed was to watch the archetypes of her old and new body merge into a single being because, of course, all three people in that dreamscape had just been Roko.
Finally: Jeph, quit making me worried about poor Melon possibly being exploited and having serious psychological damage.
cybersmurf:
I like the idea of the words being configuration expressions, leftovers from human readable code. Like the configuration files being adjusted in semi-offline mode, and Roko's consciousness sniffing a few pieces accidentally.
Cheetaur:
I think YAY is lying to Roko, telling her she had nothing to do with her dream. I think she initiated it and perhaps suitably guided the dream and gently corrected things. To allow Roko's mind to fix things on its own.

No question in my mind.

I thought this too. Yay doesn't actually answer the question of whether or not they're responsible.
