At the time, someone filed an issue with GitLab with a description of
the problems we discovered.  I'm quite sure the issue ID was posted
here.  I suggest to find that issue and read it (unless you already
did), because AFAIR there were several aspects to it, certainly more
than just 2 you mention.

Thanks.
