Backlog Astral Dragon made Animate Dead creature tokens even though it shouldn't be possible

Astral Dragon made creature token copies of Animate Dead that attached to creatures, and I was able to block and attack independently with the aura tokens and the creatures attached to the tokens. There's 2 rules problems here: A creature attaching to another creature, and a creature being an aura. The answer when I asked about this interaction in https://chat.magicjudges.org/mtgrules/ was "They enter as creature enchantment - aura, and because they're creatures, can't be attached to anything - and thus die because they're unattached auras. The ability resolves, sees the "if Animate Dead is still on the battlefield" clause, then fails to do anything else."

Not sure if relevant here, but Sigarda, Host of Herons was one of the Animate Dead targets, so if this is inconsistent with other Animate Dead creature token interactions in MTGO client perhaps the "Spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice permanents" could have confused the client somehow
