So far neither reversed nor acknowledged. Support plays dumb:

We understand your frustration about this matter. As a Support Team, we don't have a direct influence in-game since we are not part of the Development Team. We can only reiterate what we said earlier, which is relevant to our team's investigation of the issue, by providing a bug report.

Based on that report, if they identify any issues with this in-game mechanic.

You'd think they should be able to verify feature or bug, them using weasle phrasing has me believe that this is actually how it is intended.

Insanity.
