[all game versions] Dimensional Step, Phase Door & Teleport

Hey, hi!
There are 2 weird mechanisms with Dimensional Step:
1. Is with swapping with a friendly creature or if you target yourself as the destination of the teleport.
Any friendly creature can resist the teleport with it's "teleport immunity" or spell save + cont. dest.
Same with yourself!
If you do not want to teleport elsewhere, you just want to trigger Dimensional Shift & Phase Pule: you can resist your own teleport!
So if you teleport somewhere, you can do it, but if you want to teleport to your own tile, then you can resist it ...
Or if you target your Fugue Clone or you target your Temporal Hound, the spell will fizzle, they resist your teleport.
This is strange, i think, friendly actors should not have a check, the spell should succeed on friendies.
2. Is after the check is successfully made, the actor has removed from the map and you got teleported to it's tile.
Then the actor is MOVED into your original tile. So not teleported.
Idk if this is intended or not.
Other similiar mechanism with Phase Door & Teleport:
