Ties start/end position or overlapping ties corrupts playback techniques

It isn’t uncommon to see ties like this in the repertoire (contrived example):

These should all be one Legato. Instead, with my playback template as well as Auto, I get this:

The interspersed naturals ruin the phrase, in particular if one has shorter articulations for “short” and “very short” natural note values.

This occurs whether I fiddle with tie chain start/end pos. or not.

Seems like a bug to me or is this by design?

I found the related threads. See here and here.

Strange, I didn’t when looking … ok, muted slurs and hidden playing technique it is.
