Bull****.  It sounds like to me like RSI is screwing around with the
source code again, and implementing changes before they're verified.  For
some reason, they decide to hire mediocre programmers instead of really
good ones (they hire college kids from the local school in Tempe, which
is either the University of Arizona, or Arizona State).  *Then*, in a rush
to implement some kind of change (my biggest complaint about the game is
that it's so damn static), they make bad ones.

I'll bet they didn't this wouldn't work until it was shown to them, and
then they tried to claim it was a feature and not a bug.
