The reported problems can easily explained as Canon's unwillingness to support third party lenses without receiving a licensing fee.
duh. it would be somewhat stupid of them to try to help their competition, wouldn't it? They aren't there to make a photographers buying easier in terms of getting third party lenses. They are there to make as much profit for their stock holders as possible by selling as much equipment as they can. Encouraging people to buy somebody else's lens wouldn't be a smart thing no matter how much good will it might engender.
