Never seen either of these in my lists too.
The bug I had during the Coming Home event was different I think. My issue was that I could only lose points by losing on offense, as attacking me (win or lose) did not change anyone's points. Also, I'm mostly sure I showed up on lists, because people were attacking me that I'm pretty sure I did not attack.
Could still be a slightly different beast that these guys have.
The reason they're not attacking any of the higher players may be that their lists were bugged like mine. My first list of the day back when my defense was bugged did reflect my position in the rankings, but any more would only show Acolyte players because that's where I should have been considering everyone beat my Ox Soul defense
