Leaky squelch is a new one on me. It sounds more like what is called falsing, in that it falsely reads the PL, which is what you describe. A PL or the radio's PL detection can sometimes be off frequency a bit, causing the adjacent PL to register as what the radio conceives is the real tone, when it is not. This happens more often on PL detection than with DPL. It's not a design flaw of Yaesu, all PL equipped radios can exhibit this issue. Try using tone search with some scanners and you get the same result.
