How does Insight handle Multisigs tx / addresses (tx count and balance)?

Example:

vs.

Bare multi-sig outputs are not indexed, as there isn't an address or addresses, but public keys. It is possible to derive a pay-to-public-key hash from the public keys, but that's a different type of output script.

Note: p2sh outputs are indexed for multisig support, as there is a clear address in that case.
