Let me be clear that there is, as of yet, no hotfix available from MS 
for this issue. I did formally request one be made available, however.

I called 800-936-5800, and used one of my MSDN support incidents to 
request a technical support issue. If it results in my getting a hotfix, 
I believe I will not be charged for my incident. If you do not have 
MSDN, I believe you might have to pony up the $250 charge on your credit 
card before you are granted an audience with a tech. Same 
refund-if-hotfix policy should apply here, however.

I tried the workaround, by the way -- the rebuild of the runtime 
libraries failed midway through. I've reported this.
