I'm not an expert on the subject, but I believe the contamination issues only arose when the engine was used as such, and not as an APU. There are some significant differences in extracting air from an APU versus an engine, plus of course, the exposure to engine air lasts a lot longer.

Rollback was an issue above F260 - not a factor thats going to become apparent as an APU!
