More 2.5 weirdness

[Marian Petrides]

Ummm.... I haven't used 2.5 enought to have run into this anomaly, but 
it sounds like several people have encountered it but not bugzilla'd it 
because of lack of recipe.  How can we expect RunRev to fix something 
that they haven't even been informed of?  Shouldn't someone bugzilla 
this?
