Some of the code for treating CHE stars may have unintended consequences, or intended but perhaps not fully documented consequences. Two examples:
[As a sidenote, the function BaseBinaryStar::CalculateMassTransfer(), via BaseBinaryStar::InitialiseMassTransfer(), somewhat inconsistently amends the orbital parameters -- and even stellar masses for CHE stars -- on circularisation, whereas usually the future orbital updates on mass transfer are only recorded and delayed until ResolveMassChanges is called; this can manifest in unexpected inconsistencies in the code.]
