The Android issue has Mulvad mentioning connectivity checks and NTP which seems reasonable to me. Having an accurate clock is a requirement for some VPN protocols and IMO doing a connectivity check to see if a captive portal needs to opened is reasonable. This doesn't seem like a big deal or a privacy risk, seems overblown. I don't think 99% of people should be worried of these "leaks" if you could call them that.
