ecoDeleteRepeater command bug in encounter

dota

   I try to delete inverter between feedthrough port by ecoDeleteRepeater command. But unfortunately, there are only a pair of inverter between input and output.  As we all know, encounter can't allow input port connect to output port directly. So ecoDeleteRepeater leave ERROR message below:

encounter 2> ecoDeleteRepeater -inst U1240_ICCOPT
Using detail cap. scale factor for clock nets.
Width-based sheet resistance table (silicon width) is used ...
**ERROR: (SOCECO-491):  The buffer U1240_ICCOPT has both input and output ports connected to external nets.
Delete U1240_ICCOPT (SC32INVXH1).
Delete U1241_ICCOPT (SC32INVXQ1).

 

Then I check this feed through and find , only one inverter is deleted and the other is still in netlist. So at this case, ecoDeleteRepeater change the logical connection in netlist, I think it's dangerous and need to fix.
