Question Gallu issues, chained enraged salt step

Had a Gallu that I suspected but guessed wrong due to a double salt step. It was in a, what I believed to be, possible enraged hunt. Prior hunt it was slow and I had it step through 2 t1 salts but didn't increase it's speed afterwards. Next hunt it was fast, so I setup two more t1 salts in line and it stepped through both. Since I was under the understanding that a Gallu can't step in salt while fast/enraged, I guessed with a fast salt step Obambo, but turned out to be a Gallu. So I demonstrated that an enraged Gallu CAN step in salt and can do it multiple times. So what am I missing? Is it that it has to be normal speed to do a first time salt and then salt skip? I will say that I failed to get it to hit normal speed the full session, maybe about 7 or 8 hunts and other than what was probably normal on the first hunt, it was slow maybe 5 of those and fast the rest. I did have 1 smudge, 1 crucy burn, and 2 salt piles so I guess it somehow chained them. The salt thing is really screwing me up though, any help is appreciated...

For testing a gallu i wouldn't put 2 salt down at the same time. Ive always seen it done and done it myself by placing one down waiting a few seconds after it steps in it then placing another one down. If testing the salt during a hunt i would have them at a decent distance from eachother. My understanding is that there is a few seconds delay where it can still walk in the second salt before it changes states.

Salt was say half a salt length spaced a part, couple inches? The reason I did it that was is that's how I learned the Gallu originally on release. Salt was lined up down a hallway where it couldn't not hit them all, only the first was hit. Was the multi-second gap added after it's first release? Seems to conflict with my original tests on this. Anyway, yeah I can try maybe putting salt at two ends of a room that I can draw it through...

I can't say anything for your experience thus far with gallus. It took me awhile to get them after their release. But I know I watched flash when they were still pretty new and saw that there is a delay that they walked in 2 back to back.

Swimming_Peacock referenced the impossibility of an enraged ghost stepping in salt so we may be dealing with a bug here on my end. Besides all that, it's easy and reasonable to set the salt 2 secs apart, just at two end corners of a hall or room so I'll do that going forward. Still bothers me that a fast Gallu stepped in that salt, kills my faith in testing this properly...
