Their documentation says that their algorithm for determinants can be unstable because of problems with LU factorization.
Their documenatio for cindition number - COND - does not mention stability problems, even though some algorithms use LU factorization I believe.

The algorithm for condition number uses the SVD, not LU factorisation and is perfectly stable.

Yes. As well, there are very few cases where you really want to use det for anything anyway. You certainly never want to use it to determine the singularity of a matrix, despite what they always teach students in class.
