It's actually not an "issue" with either. Like GnuCash, Finance::Quote is a Free, all-volunteer project and the fact that it doesn't meet your personal needs is your problem and nobody else's.
After searching for a bit the only site I found that offers free bond lookup by cusp at all is the empirasign.com that you found. The only other free site for bond prices at all was https://finra-markets.morningstar.com/BondCenter/, but while it claims to search by cusip it wasn't able to find yours. I did eventually find that by searching for Ford, sorting the results by maturity, and binary-searching until I found it. They give F4955773 as the symbol, FWIW. Your best option seems to be to write a F::Q scraper module for empirasign.com.
