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.

if (fNewBlock) *fNewBlock = true;
    if ((!CheckBlock(block, state, chainparams.GetConsensus(), GetAdjustedTime())) || !ContextualCheckBlock(block, state, pindex->pprev)) {
        if (state.IsInvalid() && !state.CorruptionPossible()) {
            pindex->nStatus |= BLOCK_FAILED_VALID;
            setDirtyBlockIndex.insert(pindex);
        }
        return error("%s: %s", __func__, FormatStateMessage(state));
    }
    int nHeight = pindex->nHeight;
    
    try {
        unsigned int nBlockSize = ::GetSerializeSize(block, SER_DISK, CLIENT_VERSION);
        CDiskBlockPos blockPos;
        if (dbp != NULL)
            blockPos = *dbp;
        if (!FindBlockPos(state, blockPos, nBlockSize+8, nHeight, block.GetBlockTime(), dbp != NULL))
            return error("AcceptBlock(): FindBlockPos failed");
        if (dbp == NULL)
            if (!WriteBlockToDisk(block, blockPos, chainparams.MessageStart()))
                AbortNode(state, "Failed to write block");
        if (!ReceivedBlockTransactions(block, state, pindex, blockPos))
            return error("AcceptBlock(): ReceivedBlockTransactions failed");
    } catch (const std::runtime_error& e) {
        return AbortNode(state, std::string("System error: ") + e.what());
    }
    if (fCheckForPruning)
        FlushStateToDisk(state, FLUSH_STATE_NONE); 
    return true;
