Missing Photos from Timeline Photos album

Question

I'm using Facebook Graph API to get all the photos of a user graphPath: me/albums and find something weird with Timeline Photos album.

Photos exist in Timeline album on Facebook, but not returned from API call graphPath/{timeline_photos_album_id}/photos, or they are returned with lower number of photos.

What is the problem?

Unfortunately "it is not a bug, it is by design".
