Feb 3, 2021 at 10:27 comment added HYL The heuristic that I followed while constructing this example is that, if what is inside the integral is the differential of something, then the integral vanishes when it applies to functions with compact support. The vanishing of (1) is maybe not common but under this heuristic, it doesn't seem that unlikely.
Feb 2, 2021 at 16:36 comment added user2520938 Thanks, that's kind of amazing. Do you think some general heuristic/conjecture can be extracted from this example that would yield a criterion for when $P$ is "strange" in this sense?
