From my observations, I concluded that these components have an algorithm that calculates what the end of the curve closer to the profile, and, therefore, sets the direction of stretching of the surface.
 It is because of this, I think just basically they do not work with closed curves as Rails.

Maybe can be made "Sweep 1, 2 rails", "Rail revolve", in which the direction of stretching the surface would depend directly on the direction of Rails?

I faced this problem in gh many many times. I think your conclusion is good. The only workaround found for now is split the the rail in 2 different open rails...
