Thanks, Mike, for the compilation of five 44P exceptions.

It seems to be time for a recalibration of the rule. I'll try this:

    If the opponent correctly plays 55P on the second roll (for money), do not separate your back checkers on the third roll. It also applies versus 44P, except when otherwise forced to leave a direct shot on the near side.

(Maybe the word "correctly" can be omitted, I haven't checked.)

It would require further research to be sure, but I would think this rule is a strong guideline on the fourth roll (versus a third roll 13/3(2) or 13/5(2)) as well.
