Hmmmm..  Are you not trying to get a (as you call it) "bug" fixed?  You
keep asking for developer support on this (user) list, and yet you have
opened a TRAC ticket and continue to email the *USER* list.  Like stated in
another thread J Dela Hunt is going above and beyond for your scenario.
You need to take it from the USER list to the DEV list or follow on TRAC.
You get lucky every once in a while when a developer reads a user list.  It
is definitely not the norm..
