- too common backlink footprints with other sites from same owner on same topic (or another site that seems similar); - heavy internal backlinking to homepage with core phrase that the site is targeting;

That is senseless. I'm not saying what YOU are saying is senseless, I'm saying that if Y penalizes for that they are more screwed up than G. What the hell is wrong (and who does not do it) with having a link to your homepage on every page? That's how a site SHOULD be setup! If they penalize for that, and linking your sites to each other (how else can you tell visitors of your other sites), that's just plain pathetic.
