Using Yammer Open-Graph for page comments in SharePoint Online, "It looks like you're on a slow connection…" is misleading

I am trying to use Yammer for a per-page comment platform in a SharePoint Online environment. This seems to require placing a Yammer embed in each page and configuring the embed to use Open-Graph. (see further below for the embed code details I'm using)

 

When a user begins typing their comment, a gray box also appears (not sure the technical name for it) giving the user the option to click "x" to close it. In the screenshot a little below, I've put a red-box around it.

1) Why does it say "Sign in to Office 365" when the user is obviously already signed in?

2) Why does it say "It looks like you're on a slow connection. We've disabled some images to speed things up.", when I KNOW I'm not on a slow connection?

My embed code looks like this:

<div id="embedded-feed" style="height:400px;width:500px;"></div> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://assets.yammer.com/assets/platform_embed.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript"> yam.connect.embedFeed({ 
	container: "#embedded-feed"
	, network: "myyammernetwork.com"
	, feedType: "open-graph"
	, config: {
		use_sso: false
		, showOpenGraphPreview: false
		, header: false
		, footer: false
		, promptText: "Comment on this page..."
	}
	, objectProperties: { url: window.location.href, type: "page" }
});
</script>

Oddly, I've found that if I provide a "title" in the embed code, the title replaces the "Sign in to Office 365" text. Similarly, if I provide a "description" in the embed code, it replaces the "It looks like you're on a slow" So, the default messaging for these elements is totally inaccurate and misleading. Or is something amiss in my embed code?
