Alex, I had a problem some time ago with this and I just realized I hadn't done the work around you linked for a bit, and it wasn't working again. You posted that you would be adding a advanced config feature for this problem in 6.1 or 6.2 and I can't seem to find it has been added yet.
This is the issue I am referencing..
