Yes, it looks like this (but I cannot understand "why" :( ). But even more
strange (IMHO) limitation is mandatory SGID - actually it should make
illegal such GetTable queries as all-to-all, SLID-to-all, etc.. I
thought that it is permitted.

With GetTable? I think it shouldn't (for some queries it will - such as
SLID + DLID).
