Under the Oracle's "Spells" entry there is no mention of them being restricted from casting spells of opposing alignments, as the Cleric and Druid are. Is this intentional?
On a similar note, can Oracles lose their divine spells and powers for misbehavior the way a Cleric or Druid can, or is their power theirs to do with as they will?

Intentional? Not sure, I'd say it's a DM choice.

I hope so. Or my CG oracle of battle who worshipped Iomedae and used Slay Living is in for a wallop.

I hope not. Potential wallop incoming.
While not a rule text, I think the class description of the oracle is the answer:
Unlike a cleric, who draws her magic through devotion to a deity, oracles garner strength and power from many sources, namely those patron deities who support their ideals. Instead of worshiping a single source, oracles tend to venerate all of the gods that share their beliefs.
Every mystery is at least linked to a neutral deity, some of them even to an evil one. This probably allows the oracle to chose their spells more freely then clerics, as no single patron with strict behavior rules grants her power.
I think it bears noting that casting a spell with an alignment is that kind of an act and can if done enough change your alignment.
