Problem 1: Why not just bid 2♠?
Problem 2: I played this during an ACBL match. I immediately created the link from the "Results" column. I delayed posting it here because I realized other people were playing the same hand right now. However, this seems to be a problem in security that people can easily discuss and export the hands with a DD solver while the event is still going.

♠953 ♥Q87 ♦KT942 ♣92 has 6TP
1♠ - 2♠ - is 7-12TP
while 1NT is 6-12.
That 1TP made GIB to seed as 1NT and then to return back to 2♠.

Ok, so not a bug. Maybe worth considering changing the definition of 2♠ to go as low as 1NT goes?

This is a pretty standard sequence. It's more common with partnerships that play constructive raises, but even with normal raises this is how one shows a really minimum 3-card raise.
I've also seen GIB do this with 3-4 HCP and 4-card support.
