Sounds like Singularity does more here.

That is a setting, the default is to be conservative. In the grid
manager, ope "Advanced" for the grid of your choice and uncheck
"Rendering Compatibility". This setting limits building to creation
of things all viewers are guaranteed to render properly. If you want
to use nonstandard sizes that some viewers may not be able to
render, that is the setting you need to make to allow it.

The issue with Phoenix is that the "LSL Bridge" leaves junk prims in
opensim grids if you log into a place where you have build rights.
Because of that, is's not well liked by sim owners and grid
operators who have the task of finding and removing these invisible
junk prims.
