This should be solved with Gaia DR3, would be useful to check if these are classed as galaxies (or classed as not stars) in DR3. DR3 does star - galaxy separation to some extent, and hopefully that will solve it.

But we should check these sources explicitly. Fairly clear there is a tendancy for the TDEs to be in the type of host that Gaia DR2 misclassifies ("E+A galaxies").
