Yeah, I agree that in this specific case, it'd be helpful. It's probably a situation where the engineers figure it should run normally, and don't consider the possibility that it might get hung up on it (since there probably countless other situations that they'd also have to think about). The fact that it is a relatively common problem doesn't always register with them, unless perhaps all of these people also deluge Google using the Feedback feature (which might be a better way to get the message directly to them).

I wonder if there's some Developer Option that might show what's going on in the system when the app is optimizing. I would guess not, since that option probably only works after the system has completely booted.

I tried booting in Safe Mode, tried clearing cache in Recovery Mode, still got the optimisation in both cases.
I now have another "issue" on the 'phone with Samsung Internet being launched when I unlock the screen (but WITHOUT the nameless App running that was seen and reported elsewhere on the Forums). I am now thinking that these 2 issues could be related... Although this might not be a device -specific issue, as my 'phone is a Samsung S5 mini, I should probably not put any more in the Moto X forum (!), sorry.
