I have NOT made a complaint to MS, since I doubt it will do anything.
And since when has not following the spec been a new thing for
Microsoft?

Yup, I agree 100%.  But the chances of MS making a change is much less
than getting you to make the fix from the VM side.  I hope. *grin*

I wish I could, I really do.  And maybe I will be forced down this
route.  But for now, since I have the source, it's more likely I'll
learn elisp and hack the code myself to fix this issue.

Yes, I know they're abusing the standard, but I can't fix that.
