We consider the double-radiative decays of heavy-light QED and QCD atoms, m+ e- ® gg and [`B]0s
®gg. Especially, we take under scrutiny contributions coming
from operators that vanish on the free-quark mass shell. We show that by field
redefinitions, these operators are converted into contact terms attached to the bound
state dynamics. A net off-shell contribution is suppressed with respect to the effect of
the well known flavour-changing magnetic-moment operator by the bound-state binding
factor. The negligible off-shellness of the weakly-bound QED atoms becomes more relevant
for strongly bound QCD atoms. We analyse this off-shellness in model-approaches to QCD,
one of them enabling us to keep close contact to the related effect in QED. We also
comment on the off-shell effect in the corresponding process [`B]d
® K* g, and discuss
possible hindering of the claimed beyond-standard-model discovery in this decay mode.
