Bugs related to River's Rebuke [Investigating]

While in the other thread there are suggestions regarding a nerf on River's Rebuke, I want to signal some issues (intentional or non-intentional) I noticed with it:

1) It does not bounce flipped supports. Given the current implementation, it is understandable that the front side is put into the graveyard, so the back side is quite a weird cookie. But it's totally counter-intuitive that although I can bounce tokens and token supports, I cannot bounce flipped supports.

Silly me, of course it does not bounce land supports.

2) When you bounce Suppression Bonds/Desert's Hold, the first creature actually remains locked down. This happened to me two times in the last HoD event against Gideon decks. It was both surprising and annoying.
I suspect it's the same with Hixus especially given its wording (it should probably state "leaves the battlefield" instead of "destroyed" if we are to follow magic wording and interaction correctness), but that's more expected.

    3)  When you bounce Hixus, Prison Warden using River's Rebuke, creatures were disabled by Hixus remain disabled without  Hixus in play. If AI will play Hixus  again and this support will be destroyed (manually, by gem match) - Hixus effect disappears.
    4)  When you bounce Sandwurm Convergence, flying creatures will still be unable to attack (bug). New flying creature casted will be able to attack (OK).

    As I already mentioned, Hixus triggers the "undo disable" globally for all opponent creatures and only on destruction. Since River's Rebuke does not destroy, that effect never triggers.

    River's Rebuke: Return all creatures and nonland supports...
     Please check the flipped support, most of flipped supports are 'land supports', and River's Rebuke shall not bounce them:
    Arguel's Blood Fast/(flipped, land)
    AzorsGateway/(flipped, land)
    ConquerorsGalleon/(flipped, land)
    GoldenGuardian/(flipped, land)
    GrowingRitesOfItlimoc/(flipped, land)
    HadanasClimb/(flipped, land)
    JourneyToEternity/(flipped, land)
    PathOfMettle/(flipped, land)
    ProfaneProcession/(flipped, land)
    SearchForAzcanta/(flipped, land)
    StormTheVault/(flipped, land)

    But I found that River's Rebuke was unable to bounce Mirrorpool.
