Greg, fast castling in the waffle chess preset is a mistake of mine. It supposed to be free castling.

Why do you think that?  Kevin's page does not describe free castling - it says it does not matter if the squares in between are occupied and the rook always goes to the king's starting square.  This is fast castling, not free castling.

This mistake appears also in the frog chess and Hannibal chess where I am writing a preset for such a variation of the rules.

I do not understand what you are saying.  Frog and Hannibal have Standard castling.  Or are you saying you want to deviate from the rules and make presets with fast castling anyway?
