You really need to report this stuff to Microsoft. If you don't, you're making your life and our lives harder.

I don't understand what your smiley face is trying to imply. This bug is currently targeted for Dev14 Update 1, although we can't promise anything yet (it may have to be delayed to a future Update, or Dev15). Had it been reported a couple of months ago, we could have probably fixed it for Dev14 RTM, or I could have reworked alignment_of to go back to the library-only tech.

Thanks, I've added this to the bug report.
