I haven't experienced this, but it sounds like you have a reproducible
test case. Please file a bug with Apple if you haven't already done
so.

I have independently verified that 32 is the max for simultaneously

(However, Apple is free to change this number at any time as it is
undocumented. You should file an enhancement request with Apple if you
need more.)
