Chris,
There is a patch by Mathias Grimberger (he sent it quite a bit of time
ago), which I'm planning to integrate with P&S this week, along with
other, IMHO more urgent bugfixes (e.g. assert failures).
Honestly, I don't consider this a really big bug. It's just an annoyance
we could live with. It doesn't prevent you from using rotated pads,
you'll just have to route some of them without P&S.
