Multiple persistent (no pun intended) bugs relating to CORPSEWADE boots

Hello!

Apparently the Corpsewade boots are so stinky that they attract a number of bugs.
These bugs have already been in the game prior to patch 0.1.1.

1) Equipping Trenchtimbre (or any other 1H mace as it seems) will prevent corpses from being consumed.

2) Killing monsters with the Corpsewade gas clouds occasionally grants no experience. This can happen in an entire map or also only with certain monsters in a map while others still grant experience. This seems to happen relatively often.

3) Sometimes monster packs standing in the gas clouds AFTER they spread (their AOE) will not be affected by poison. This seems to happen relatively rarely.

Thanks for your incredible hard work and really enjoying POE 2 so far, it's already a great game!

Happens on Chronomancer btw, maybe Pathfinder is fine (I've seen some build guides using it)?
I use Pathfinder with Corpsewade and had at least 3 times
where I got zero XP in a map. Only opening a new map solved it.

Edit: i'm quite certain I also experienced issue number 3 as described above.

Confirming that I am also frequently not getting XP using Corpsewade for entire maps, breach boss, entire waves in Simulacrum (resulting in no loot for that wave).
If I kill with Plague Nova from Plague Bearer, I DO get XP, so it is not Pathfinder or poison causing it.
Can confirm all 3 issues,
Some Workarounds / Findings:

1) Yes Trench is bugged, but if you use a Corpse Consume build that also uses your minions you can cast a Spell OR force your minions with designated button to go to spot to still trigger decompose

2) Other Posts are suggesting its caused by the Monsters having Energy Shield and potentially even preventing loot drops (if killed by Corpsewade Decompose, apparently Plague Nova or Concotion is fine, i will test that)

3) Contagion on Cast on Minion Death (or alterantives spell set up maybe??) should fix that and other issues with poison not proccing

One last thing Simulacrum Monsters do not leave corpses which makes it very challenging to run higher tier simulacrums with Corpsewade Build. Pretty dumb if this is intended since it blocks out this build from ranking this League Mechanic...
