Yes, they may be getting filtered out of the Keyword Performance Report now, but... We're getting these rows in the v201109 Ad Performance Report, despite your comment in #2, and the fact the Keyword ID now doesn't map to anything in the Keyword Performance Report is a significant issue. Either the Ad Performance Report shouldn't be returning those rows, OR there should be a field in the Ad Performance Report which lets us identify those rows and their usage and treat them accordingly, OR the Keyword Performance Report should be returning something which matches those Keyword IDs. Having those rows dangle with unspecified purpose is problematic -- just leaving them in there with a dangling keyword ID isn't enough for us to work with.
