Although I wasn't aware of that,I remember a conversation with another breeder who mentioned something he called "leaky gene" T pos. I don't know if there's another more accurate term to describe it, but from my understanding it could explain why some T pos. animals may look more like albinos as babies,and then gain more "normal-ish" pigment once ontogenetic changes set in, which could then result in an appearence that more closely resembled hypomelanism. (?)
