I believe the problem is that the EFC closed loop has a significant time constant, so any current variation that is faster than the EFC loop time constant will induce an uncorrectable error (at least as far as the EFC loop is concerned). With a separate ground pin, or a circuit designed to compensate for the effects of ground pin current, there will be no such error.
