Hello. I noticed that even when I'm writing the position = independent index properties, the eliminate_metric command can contract the expression indeces inside the partial derivative and outside, as in the following example:
{\mu,\nu,\rho,\sigma,\kappa,\lambda,\eta,\chi#}::Indices(full, position=independent);
{m,n,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,m#}::Indices(subspace, position=independent, parent=full);
{\mu,\nu,\rho,\sigma,\kappa,\lambda,\eta,\chi#}::Integer(1..4);
{m,n,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,m#}::Integer(1..3);
\partial{#}::PartialDerivative.
\nabla{#}::Derivative.
g_{\mu\nu}::Metric.
g^{\mu\nu}::InverseMetric.
g_{\mu? \nu?}::Symmetric.
g^{\mu? \nu?}::Symmetric.
h_{m n}::Metric.
h^{m n}::InverseMetric.
\delta^{\mu?}_{\nu?}::KroneckerDelta.
\delta_{\mu?}^{\nu?}::KroneckerDelta.
\delta^{m?}_{n?}::KroneckerDelta.
\delta_{m?}^{n?}::KroneckerDelta.
\delta^{\mu?}_{n?}::KroneckerDelta.
\delta_{\mu?}^{n?}::KroneckerDelta.
F_{m n}::AntiSymmetric.
\pi::Depends(\nabla{#}).

def expand_nabla(ex):
for nabla in ex[r'\nabla']:
nabla.name=r'\partial'
dindex = nabla.indices().__next__()

ret:=0;
for index in arg.free_indices():
t2:= @(arg);
if index.parent_rel==sub:
t1:= -\Gamma^{\rho}_{@(dindex) @(index)};
t2[index]:= _{\rho};

t1:= \Gamma^{@(index)}_{@(dindex) \rho};
t2[index]:= ^{\rho};
ret += Ex(str(nabla.multiplier)) * t1 * t2

Gtog:= \Gamma^{\lambda?}_{\mu?\nu?} ->
(1/2) * g^{\lambda?\kappa} (

substitute(_, $g^{4 4} -> \phi**{-2} + A_{m} h^{m n} A_{n}$ )
substitute(_, $g^{m 4} -> - h^{m n} A_{n}$ )
substitute(_, $g^{4 m} -> - h^{m n} A_{n}$ )
substitute(_, $g^{m n} -> h^{m n}$ );
tidy(box);

And at the end I get:
This is all very long, but I wanted to show the whole path that leads to the error. In fact, this kind of result is obtained with almost any option when I use eliminate_metric more than once in my program.
Is this some kind of bug or am I doing something wrong?
