But I don't trust GNU is a such kind of positions.

I don't understand why you wouldn't trust GNU? Assuming you have your match equity table of preference loaded, there's no disputing that. It's not like GNU can misplay Blue's side after either play. The only side that may get misplayed is White's side when he doesn't lose a gammon or backgammon immediately and gets left a shot and hits that shot. That's fairly rare as you can tell from the numbers. I also trust GNU to play White's side after the hit pretty well since it already has the 3 best home board points and well placed outfield builders to expand the prime. Perhaps the cube action for either side might be erred way down the road, but those occasions are so rare ...

So back to the question, what don't you trust?
