Current limiting added to PSU circuit version 3 of reply #45, as per attached schematic:

C2, C17 and C15 are 10uF non polarised capacitors ?
Does they really need to have such a big value and they really need to be non polarised ? 
R11, R16, R6, R13 could have a more usual value ?

some notes:
- The common emitter stage inverts the phase so you have to swap inverting and non-inverting inputs.
- I've not made any calculations yet, but I think it would be safer to replace some transistors with BD139/40.
- Probably it would be hard to compensate.
I'll see if I can simulate it.

When the op-amp's inputs are reversed, its minimum gain becomes unity.
This can be a problem if there is too much gain elsewhere in the loop.
I know from recent experience.

What do you mean?
In the classical floating PSU design, where the opamp inputs are swapped, the overall gain can be set to 0.

With the floating type regulator I built recently, the reference ended up on the  CV op-amp's inverting input and the voltage feedback divider on the non-inverting input.
Even if a large capacitor is connected between its output and inverting input, the AC gain can never go below unity.
This isn't a problem in this situation because there is no extra gain between the CV op-amps output and the MOSFET's Gate.
