Odd homeworld visibility

[esoteric]

I've been seeing some interesting behavior on homeworlds. In chief9h I've lost possession of a robotic homeworld but I persist to have visibility there. There is still population and ownership hasn't changed.
In another game, seized3a, all homeworlds became visible on turn4. If not blac-box effect, was this intended somehow?

Per the game rules, you always have visibility of your original homeworld, even if you lose control of it.

As to the other, that sounds like the black box at work.
