This restriction is called “tx0”, it is a self spend transaction prior to the coinjoin that allows the trusted coordinator to custody the fee they charge in order to prevent DoS attacks from being costless. Once the coordinator’s fee is confirmed, they allow the outputs created from the premix tx0 to be added to their liquidity pools.

Some Whirlpool users were rugpulled because they paid coordinator fees in a separate transaction from their coinjoin: https://mempool.space/address/bc1q6dxnvx3wm40e4rtmye6fwy9zmwnqchnz04pzaa
