The difference with pair of BH's is, if they are mutually interacting in in very close proximity, relativity effects start to play tricks, resulting in unstable orbits, long term (unlike with Newtonian gravity where orbits are stable - unless there are more than two players).
But if they are not too close, relativity effects are the same as for stars.. so that is why I am puzzled by those controversies mentioned in links I provided earlier.
