Hey, just a quick note/question...
I noticed that while observing using 'V' to get a player's vision will show their opponent's current creep situation (not the most recently seen creep).
This happened first when checking if expansions had been spotted; even if the hatchery had not been seen it will appear as if the player has vision of a small patch of creep.
I assume this is a bug related to being allied...
Is there something I can do differently?

Unfortunately I don't know if we can call this a bug, though I don't leave it that way intentionally. There is just nothing I can do about it in GHClassic.
It is a byproduct of using players that don't have any units to observe the game instead of real observers. Blizzard has not provided us with any way to show one player the game exactly as another player sees it as they have for observers. Instead I am forced to emulate it to the best of my ability. In GameHeart each player has a secret invisible, invincible unit that floats above their main base. This unit only servers one purpose, and it has one ability. That ability is an instant autocast ability which adds a 'buff' to any enemy unit as soon as it comes into vision. When I want to show a player's vision we first check all of his opponents units and any unit that does not have this buff gets hidden.
So this system works fine for demonstrating a clear picture of what that player has seen as far as buildings/units, but it has no effect on creep. Unfortunately there appears to be no way to track creep in this way so there is really just nothing I can do about it.
