Not too surprising. The actual issue is constant, but the circumstances under which it will come up are somewhat limited. Certainly it wouldn't come up in every case of cross-staff tremolo.
the thing is i have set all the freeze stems figures out to accommodate potential layout changes (changes to spacing between staces with cross-staff notes); the beams react differently depending on whether frozen up or down, well, way too long to explain, but it sounds like you know this already.
Well, sort of, but I'm not sure I understand what the problem is you're having now. I'm not sure I got every detail right in trying to diagnose your specific situation, but bottom line is that in any situation with a cross-staff reverse stem and beams, one half or the other is going to have that extra stem stub that you can't get rid of, and which side it's on is a function of which box you check in the Reverse Stem tool. Any time you have a stem stub you need to get rid of, you'll have to set your Reverse Stem to check the other side. In order to do that, you'll have to adjust the various other special tools and stem directions accordingly to make it still look right.
Unless there's something further I don't understand, there's no situation where you can't come up with the result you want given the proper tweaking. If your goal is to be able to freeze stems in directions that don't match with the kludge, then yes, you're out of luck.
