Some hint of a result from LRO observation of the impact site.

No he didn't. He said the PI seemed to have a smile on his face that suggested he might be happier with the results than he was letting on. Having watched it - I went back and looked at him, and he just looked kind of smug to be honest.

So LRO didn't see evidence of water. This is probably going to be classified as a dry impact after all.

Magnesium and mercury? Intriguing, but not what we expected.

Although they didn't show any trace of the impact, are the Hubble observations of the impact site likely to make into the PDS?

Hubble data isn't archived at the PDS since its main purpose isn't planetary science. The data can be accessed here among other places. The LCROSS impact observations are already there. Judging by the preview images, there's nothing to see from the imaging standpoint.
