Core does not specify any proof theory. Does not even mention unification.
So, the above remark makes no sense.

Perhaps you wanted to say that you have a concern that there is a problem
reconciling the procedural semantics of PRD with the model-theoretic semantics
of Core?  That might be the case, although the above statement has only a
remote connection to the actual issue.
