I just noticed these two promotions issues when playing today, I think they must be inputting or design errors, otherwise they are senseless.

Canister Shot is a seriously pathetic promotion set.

Three promotions in and a spent great general will give you +30% vs. Gunpowder units. Really.
Spending your XP specialising in this promotion tree actually gives less benefit than getting the generalised Veteran I/II/III promotions at present!

Minuteman III gives a nonsensical +10% bonus vs. Melee units ....

Why would you need a 10% bonus vs. melee units who can't attack, or vs. unarmed indians?
To get to this promotion your unit is already armed, combat hardened, defending a colony, led by a great general, with at least 2 Minuteman defense promotions already earned!

Am I wrong? Has anybody used these promotions? Anybody seen anything else similar to this?

I was also confused at canister shot the first time I promoted a cannon (+10% Str or +5% vs. Gunpowder? Tough one) but I haven't seen minuteman 3 yet. Might be intended as a minor bonus to an elite, though.
