Are These Lost Banters?

In the process of writing up a Banter guide I've come across some (Non-Imoen) lines of dialogue that seem to not trigger at all.
Specifically the fault is in the interact.2da file. This file assigns NPCs a variable of "c" for compliment, "i" for insult and "s" for special. For example Eldoth and Coran have a "c" assigned to Viconia, so they will trigger their "compliment" soundfile and Viconia will reply with her "compliment response" soundfile.
However 7 NPCs have their "compliment response" or "insult response" unused because they either lack a "c" or "i" variable. The cases are as follows:
Branwen - Insult Response
1 - "I do not take such insults lightly." [BRANW32]
2 - "Do not mock me!" [BRANW34]
Montaron - Compliment Response
1 - "Mayhaps we should just befriend them all and go for tea, eh?" [MONTR33]
Eldoth - Compliment Response
1 - "I knew that" [ELDOT33]
Faldorn - Compliment Response
1 - "I thank you" [FALDN34]
Jaheira - Insult Response
1 - "You demonstrate your own pettiness. It saves me the trouble, so I take no offense." [JAHER32]
2 - "Careful. Ground tongue makes excellent fertilizer, especial with what you're spewing" [JAHER33]
3 - "Is grass not made of blades? Do stars not shoot? Nature be well armed, and demands so of her servants!" [JAHER34]
Viconia - Insult Response
1 - "I will not accept such arrogance from a male. On your knees." [VICON32]
2 - "Never again speak to me in such a manner." [VICON34]
Xzar - Compliment Response
1 - "Ah yes, the chatter of friends and compatriots! Does it not warm the cockles?" [XZAR34]
They could be triggered through another method that I've neglected, but I just want to be sure to put an asterisk besides them in the guide if they are truly faulty.
If they are truly faulty, then I guess there is no way of fixing them officially since it would breach the contract. But that doesn't stop someone from editing their own 2da file to make them work.
