This is a years old issue and while I periodically revisited and confirmed the problem remained (again as late as a month or two ago), all of this is from memory and I cannot tell you version numbers and the like. Before pursuing further, I should do virgin installs and test again. I'll report back my findings in a couple of days, either way.
