In "Grothendieck ring of pretriangulated categories", Bondal, Larsen and Lunts define a product of perfect (pretriangulated with Karoubian homotopy category) dg-categories as $A\bullet B:=Perf(A\otimes B)$ where $\otimes$ is the usual (non derived) tensor product of dg-categories and Perf(A) is the full subcategory of semifree A-modules homotopy equivalent to a direct summand of a $A^{pre-tr}$-module coming from A (Definition 3.13 in the paper). Alternatively in remark 4.9 they mention that taking $(A\otimes B)^{pre-tr}$ would define a product for their Grothendieck ring.
My question is why is taking Perf again necessary? Are there examples of pairs of perfect ( or pretriangulated ) dg-categories whose tensor product is not perfect ( or pretriangulated )?
