in v0.12 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7081 (by @luke-jr) was merged adding `-bytespersigop` (with default of 20).

this is preventing simple bare multisig transactions from being accepted into mempool when the size is < 400 bytes.  
eg; https://gist.github.com/rubensayshi/ac4f617207f7a50559e85d61c05800be

from 1-of-7 and onwards they are accepted because the ratio of bytes:sigops is high enough.  
also having 2 or more inputs will work because it again tips the ratio of bytes:sigops over.

the reason mainly being that `GetLegacySigOpCount` calls `GetSigOpCount` with `fAccurate=false`.

It looks like changing `GetLegacySigOpCount` to use `fAccurate=true` would cause side effects in the few other places (`ConnectBlock`, `CheckBlock`, `CreateNewBlock`) and simply adding `fAccurate` as arg to `GetLegacySigOpCount` would affect the value stored in `CTxMemPoolEntry.sigOpCount` which in turn affects a bunch of other things.

chainActive.SetTip(pindexNew);
    
    nTimeBestReceived = GetTime();
    mempool.AddTransactionsUpdated(1);
    cvBlockChange.notify_all();
    static bool fWarned = false;
    std::vector<std::string> warningMessages;
    if (!IsInitialBlockDownload())
    {
        int nUpgraded = 0;
        const CBlockIndex* pindex = chainActive.Tip();
        for (int bit = 0; bit < VERSIONBITS_NUM_BITS; bit++) {
            WarningBitsConditionChecker checker(bit);
            ThresholdState state = checker.GetStateFor(pindex, chainParams.GetConsensus(), warningcache[bit]);
            if (state == THRESHOLD_ACTIVE || state == THRESHOLD_LOCKED_IN) {
                if (state == THRESHOLD_ACTIVE) {
                    strMiscWarning = strprintf(_("Warning: unknown new rules activated (versionbit %i)"), bit);
                    if (!fWarned) {
                        AlertNotify(strMiscWarning);
                        fWarned = true;
                    }
                } else {
                    warningMessages.push_back(strprintf("unknown new rules are about to activate (versionbit %i)", bit));
                }
            }
        }
