Just thinking out loud here.. (Influenced by beer)
(while looking at my 2 cyl's), and a few off other (honda, husqvarna, etc) bikes
The "other" bikes CYLs im looking at... have exhaust bridges... and they have to be relieved. compared to bore... (or drilled pistons)
With the divider between the KIPS boost ports... perhaps these need to be treated as "Bridges" and certain platers are not, or are? (I dont know if they are supposed to be or not....) (or drill holes in the piston)
As both my CYL"S have marks around these locations....
see post #4 here.. where CBX has drilled his..

Anytime I see an exhaust bridge, I drill the piston for lube purposes, never had an issue.

The way i seat rings in are to turn the idle up to 4K and let it run there and wait for the rings to seat and when they do you will know because the rpm with jump up to about 6K and then turn the idle back down to 4K and run for another 3 minutes, then shut off motor.

Once you initially set the idle to 4K, how long does it take for it to hit 6K?
