Are these edge cases correct to the spec, or not?

Yes.

The spec is often such a confused mess that even the people who wrote it are surprised by what it requires. One example was when someone on the PKIX list spent some time explaining to X.509 standards people what it was that their own standard required, which they had been unaware of until then.
