So it does. This is because certain sound architectures --e.g. HPI -- are limited in the amount of gain offset they can apply. This is what sanity checks are all about. > I'm trying to set cut gains so the carts play at -23 LUFS. This often > requires play gains around the -12 dB mark or lower.

My opinion is a bit different. Setting the gain directly in the DB and then complaining when the sanity check mechanism catches it is a bit like bypassing the safety interlocks on a 50 kW transmitter and then complaining that the manufacturer made an unsafe unit. We can certainly debate the tradeoffs involved in the current design for handling level processing, but a bug -- let alone a "serious" one -- it most certainly is not. To the contrary, it's a deliberate part of the design. FWIW, this feature was never intended to be used in the way you are trying to use it, but rather as a means to achieve relatively minor 'touchups' in trim level.
