I bit the bullet, and reported an incident using our Premier Support

Just an update.
Microsoft Premier Support has confirmed the issue. Along the way, they
confirmed that it is also a problem in Office 2007. They have added it
to their database, to solve it in a possible future fix or service
release.

I'm not counting on it that it will happen soon (if ever), but I have
covered all my options.
Case closed as far as I am concerned.
Yeah I know there is no solution but sometimes there just isn't one.
