It would be great to root cause this. As the one that designed and wrote the
initial feature, I can't imagine why this would happen (someone brought up the
possibility of a 32/64-bit view mapping issue - which given it was first in XP
could be likely) and the only way to work around it is to implement my original
idea of merging 32- and 64-bit views (while supporting the current key)
programmatically, but then you start running into race conditions (which is why
I went with the key I did after talking to some key Windows folks).
If this doesn't repro on Vista+ and it only happens in this case, I'm wondering
how strongly you feel about taking it given XP's lifecycle (though I agree it
will be in practical use for sometime to come). At the very least, root-causing
it (perhaps with procmon) might help to better understand any potential
workarounds since avoiding compat issues should be key here.
