Did you figure out *why* that test doesn't trigger?

I didn't, probably a slightly different hardware bug.

Making that work seems a better solution to me than adding magic
options that users won't know they have to use.

Sure, that would be better. I'll leave that to the ibm guys who own the
hardware in question ;)
