Forward from the user list, hoping to catch the Citrix test engineering team's attention. Is this a tested scenario?

You need to report this via your Citrix Support contract. Sounds like this could be a bug. Community - this could be a possible issue in 4.0.0 / 4.0.1. I don't know if this test case has been explored.
