What is going on with this shape tween?

I made some pixel letters in Illustrator and then pasted them into Animate.  When I add a shape tween, it is removing particular points in the letters.  What would cause this?

answer: the program's interpretation of how to best tween that shape.  bottomline: what difference does it make?

more info: the shape tween is notorious for getting it wrong.  humans have one way to see a, more or less, obvious way a shape should be tweened to another shape and machines/algorithms have a method for tweening from one shape to another.  between a machine method and what you think is obvious, there can be (and, in my experience, almost always is) a lot of differences.

resolution:  use shape hints to help the animate algorithm tween your shape the way you want, sometimes tweening different frame spans in different layers so a new set of hints can be used or use frame-by-frame animation.
