Dotted Guides are not precise in GPU preview
Guides should allow us to be sure about alignment.
And while in CPU it’s mostly true, in GPU preview dotted guides get drawn 1 pixel off.
These should perfectly overlap the edges of the object aligned!
Look at the GIF attached
If you notice a bug with the bounding bounding box not getting displayed when I select the rectangle in the CPU Preview mode — it’s a separate Beta-only bug, reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/50759876

There is nothing to package, really.
In a Print-based document I created a guide (and changed the color to magenta to better see it on white).
I toggled the style to be dotted.
I created a rectangle and an area text object.
Immediately the guide jumped (visually) 1 px away (while solid goes through the edge perfectly).
I zoomed with Opt/Alt- wheel back and forth and it jumped (visually) even further away.
I tested it with no plugins (I hate doing that, it kills my plugin toolbars) — no difference.
In CPU preview mode it looks OK. -

Please add opacity slider to the guides settings.
