"from" field of comments on my Facebook Page are partially missing

I'm using Facebook Graph API to list all comments of posts of my Facebook page by using this call
/v3.1/me?fields=posts{comments{from,message,created_time,comments{from,message,created_time}}}

As you can see, for some comments, the "from" field is missing and I don't know why (Example: comment with id 2021000871244096_2067325063278343 ("such a lonely boat 😢")).
P1 is the page itself
U1, U2 are users with admin rights
U3 is a normal user who liked the page
The author of 2021000871244096_2067325063278343 hasn't liked the page but the author of 2021000871244096_2079269595417223 has liked it afterwards (comment 2021000871244096_2079270622083787).
Is there any way to get the names of all users who comment on my page?

Facebook real time updates giving incomplete information on page events

I have subscribed for page subscription for Facebook real time updates with Fields as "feed". When i am creating a new event, the Facebook real time updates sends me a wrong entry. The entry i got as a real time update is below.
{

From the above entry, if i query the Graph API for postid : 902483569809496_1128416807216170 , i get the below JSON response

But the actual thing added here was an event and not a photo. The id should be 902483569809496_713006992181643 as in the below JSON and not 902483569809496_1128416807216170 which came from the real time update. Below is the JSON response which i am getting when i query the Graph API manually using the account id without using the real time update information.

Why is there an inconsistency with the Facebook real time updates sent for an event creation. It treats it as a photo edit and not an event creation.
Please let me know if i am missing something.

/me/feed in facebook graph api has first comment of wallpost as separate status entry

when getting my feed with /me/feed it seems that the first comment on posts of other users on my wall is represented another time in the feed as an independent status entry (also has a different id) itself.
It looks like the following JSON output. The first entry of the list is apparently generated from the first comment of the second entry of the list.
I could not reproduce the problem, another post on my wall I commented on turned out normal (= no duplicate entry for first comment)
Is this a bug in Facebook itself or can someone explain this behavior?

I had this same issue. I've submitted a bug to facebook. Vote it up - https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/483624361705934
Just in case you haven't realised, those "wrong" posts doesn't have any action in it, so you can filter the right posts just checking if actions exist.

How to see/get all wall posts of a specific Facebook page

For research purposes I need to get all wall posts of the European Commission's Facebook page. I tried it trough this link, but I couldn't get access: http://graph.facebook.com/EuropeanCommission/posts
Is there any chance I can get a list of all posts ever published by the Commission? Or do I need to hand-copy-and-paste them from the timeline? Comments are not needed.
I just tried in the API Explorer tool and I got the list of posts with pagination links too:

From what I can tell its completely random whether it is a message or a story.
Does anybody know where and when the story attribute is used and why?
Well from those two examples, the noticeable difference is that the story was an activity that was auto-posted about something the band did on facebook (editing their profile), whereas the message was something that someone has posted on the page wall.
