I get this, but not so that I'd really notice or care.

You can't do the white/black thing.  If you play a rated game as white, then do
an unrated game, you may get white or black randomly, but if you do a rated game
with the same opponent after that, you'll get black.  Which is my way of telling
you that this one has been fixed.
