NTFS deduplication gets files corrupted

From https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/31038.troubleshooting-data-deduplication-corruptions.aspx

4) Enabling compression on root of a volume with deduplication also enabled

Deduplication is not supported on volumes that have compression enabled at the root. This may lead to deduplicated files becoming corrupt and not being accessible.

Note deduplication on files in compressed folders is supported and functions normally.

Strangely, this only happens on a SSD and not on a HDD, in my use case.
