I just suspect they might exist. If somebody will ever stumble in one of them and report it to us, then we will document it in NEWS (maybe with a suggested workaround). If nobody ever encounters such corner cases, or find obvious and non-hacky workarounds and thus doesn't feel like reporting them anyway -- well, all the best for us. Agreed?
