It'd definitely be good to know all the specific cases.

But merely sharing them so folks will know when to use the parameter
is a broken model.  We should make it work automatically, either with
some sort of machine-dependent quirk, or (preferably) with a change to
the generic algorithm so it can handle these "broken" topologies along
with all the correct ones.
