I will say, that just the mathematics for G may be stable, but I'll have to do some rechecking, however I have work to go to for now, so I'll look after.
As for it being a perfect fluid, I believe somewhere along the lines in the many intervening years, that was dropped for some reason or another, otherwise it would definately be held onto. Again, I will look into it.
Any disagreement between Lagrange and the mechanism of gravity indicates an error in Lagrange. Equal shielding from space pressure will exist on both sides of bodies in certain locations, so some Lagrange points will exist in reality. Others may not, if they are based just on Newton's empirical equation with no understanding behind it. You need to realize that not all theoretical predictions of Newton's theory have been proven.
In particular, Newton's "theory" (equation) argued that everything moving away from us in the universe will be attracted back by gravity and hence slowed down if not actually pulled back. I showed that this was not the case in a letter to "Electronics World" in 1996, because the mechanism for gravity is the inward motion of the fabric of space in response to surrounding expansion. At great distances, thus, there is no surrounding expansion and thus no gravity slowing things down.
Nature refused to even have the paper reviewed, they were too clever to allow a scientific proof and prediction to be published. If correct, it would affect funding of false and speculative (unproven) trash like string theory, which they had placed all their money on. They could not afford to allow themselves to lose the gamble, so they used their power to cover-up, convinced that journalists would be too awed by the maths to investigate the fraud.
In 1998, about two years after prediction, Dr Saul Perlmutter confirmed it. He used CCD computerised telescopes to detect and determine the redshifts of very distant supernovas. I then again submitted the paper to Nature. Again they were too wise to publish a scientific proof, and opted to publish a load of unproven, ad hoc, speculations instead. Nature is the guardian of existing science, not progress. By publishing unproven, speculative, ad hoc nonsense, it prevents progress, guarding existing science from serious modification and correction.
Notice that the existing trash is defended by people like you. You consider that "science" means what currently passes for knowledge.
It would be like going back to 1600, the scientific revolution, and finding that progress was prevented by people who were "pro-science". Their understanding of science, Ptolemy's epicyclical earth-centred system, would be what they were defending. They would simply claim that anyone who had an advance which was so big as to sweep it away was "anti-science". The problem here is obviously the lack of vision that science is a progressive discipline, in other words. So we must define "science" to avoid confusion.
Your definition of "science" is "status quo, speculative, unexplained equations dressed up as God's laws and mystical theories of everything".
My definition of "science" is "explanatory, understandable, comprehendable, step-by-step proof, confirmed and distinguished from speculative ad hoc guesswork by experimental confirmation."
For Lagrange's points of orbital stability, you will not find much proof. They have not been experimentally investigated. They are a speculation based on the existing model, and as such are no attack on a new model. You might as well use a false prediction of epicycles, which was unproven, to disprove the solar system theory.#
As I say, some Lagrange points will occur in either model, because of shielding by two masses cancelling out at certain places. If a difference arises, it is not proven that the error is with the new advance unless the existence of the discrepancy in reality is established. As I have said to Mr Robbins, the proof of the cause of gravity stands by itself. The fact that molecular chemistry does not explain how life began or predict how a brian works, or that nuclear quark physics does not predict the measured half life of cobalt-60, or that you cannot explain high-level software in terms of hardware electronics, does not debunk chemistry, physics, and electronics.
